I would be absolutely shocked if any of the top 6 QB’s drop to the 2nd round. There are entire annual drafts where any of these guys would be the first QB off the board.

It’s possible Penix drops due to injury history, but I don’t see it having anything to do with his playing ability.

Who likes Penix? The Raiders are high on him and need a QB. The Seahawks are in the mix. Our own Vikings are possibility. I can even see the possibility of a team like the Giants or Tennessee taking him in the top 10. Michael Penix is a heck of a prospect. For whatever reason he’s being discounted during this draft process. I like to think it’s because of there being so many good QB’s, but sometimes it’s simply the fact that plenty of NFL front offices are really bad at their jobs when it comes to the position.

If we take him, I for one will be excited.

With the latest 'rumor' that Minnesota would be 'satisfied' taking Bo Nix, that connects the top 6 interest in QBs outside of Caleb Williams. This is why its Liars Season, they can't have interest in all of them.

Today or tomorrow is when the more truthful stories come out. Read yesterday that Caleb Williams is a 'baby' and doesn't handle stressful situations well, lmao. But having said that, I think one of Caleb's weaknesses is leadership qualities.

And of course the bashing: 'I wouldn't take him in the top 10'.

Jayden wants to keep wearing purple:

"Jayden Daniels was given a high grade by many teams. While the QB is “cool” with Washington, I’m told in his “dream world” he would reunite with Raiders coach Antonio Pierce (who was an asst coach at Arizona State when he was a Sun Devil) or play under Kevin O’Connell in Minnesota. theathletic.com/5440564/2024/0…"

Russini is as dialed in as any sports media person. I take her musings as I would Jay Glazer's. She says Vikes want Drake Maye.
