The Gambler Heads To The Draft

He has talent. Generally someone is willing to ignore the risks. However, these are big risks and he gambled much more than the previous player in question. This is a habitual issue that will be tough to break. And to be your QB, personally I don’t see the Wilfs signing off on this risk or Teasley willing to bank his GM career on him. It would be a flashy early move, I just think this isn’t the year to take the risk. I also think he goes later than the current projects. 3rd or 4th round.

You absolutely 100% have to consider this guy if you don't have a solid QB1. He's a 1st round talent.....and when did the NFL ever turn away from talented players? That's rhetorical. This isn't Art Schlichter.....those comparisons are way off. If Schlichter were a drug addict instead of a gambling addict, he'd have died YEARS ago. He's one of the most hardcore, degenerate gambling addicts in modern memory. The GOAT. Sorsby is an excellent prospect but its of course risky. Unless there is some big time underground info on him that NFL teams are aware of, he's going to be taken in round 2 or 3 IMO. Guaranteed there will be high level background checks and due diligence.

The Vikings drafting Sorsby is about as likely as Kyler Murray having a sudden growth spurt.

It's definitely unlikely. The timing isn't right, the numbers aren't right, and do you really want to add MORE drama to this QB room? And then there's the gambling thing. Drafting Sorsby is itself a gamble. I think the odds are in the single digits, but they aren't zero.

I will guarantee you this: Teasley, KOC and the Vikings scouting staff is studying Sorsby's film right now to determine where they stand. What if they fall in love? The Rams, everyone's Super Bowl favorite, with just a few holes to fill, chose to spend a 13th overall pick on a QB who will not help that team one iota this year. Don't underestimate what a team might be willing to do for the right QB....especially a new GM.
