***2024 Minnesota Vikings***

[Mr Janny]

Not really when you consider Minnesota gave up pick 46. Not worth it.

We'll see what they end up doing with it.

 

[Marcelason78]

They got Detroit's other 1st, a very early 2nd and a 3rd for it. That's a pretty big haul

If the picks are Detroit's #34 and #66, the Vikes would be +260 on the Jimmy scale. Huge.

they also gave detroit their 2nd as well

Is Rick still GM? Good God we got fleeced. Horrible start to the Kwesi era

If the Vikes threw in #46, they got fleeced by 230 points on the Jimmy scale.

Initial impression for me is we didn't get enough of a return for falling 20 spots...

I wonder if they are hoping for Booth or Elam at 32or 34

 

[clonehenge]

So according to the draft value chart the #12 = 250.9.

#32 = 112.6, #34 = 108.4 and #66 = 59.2 so 280.2 total.

So according to that it's a plus trade for the Vikings.

Thought they might move down, but not that far. Terrible first trade.
Don't want Boothe.

So according to the draft value chart the #12 = 250.9.

#32 = 112.6 and #34 = 108.4 so 221 total.

The 2023 3rd rounder will probably range between 38 - 60 according to this year's value chart.

I think it's this year's 3rd round pick from Detroit. 66 overall

 

[drmwevr08]

I saw a chance at some good value at 12. Don't know what they are thinking now... At all

Analytics like the trade for the Vikes. In Kwesi we trust

Are you serious? Everybody is trashing this move. Deservedly so.

 

[somecyguy]

ANalytics be damned, dropping 20 spots and only picking up a 3rd rounder seems like a whiff to me. Not sure what they were thinking, not to mention instead of picking up a CB/S, Detroit picked the best WR to torment them with.

Kwesi is definitely an analytics guy. I'll reserve judgement until I see what they do with the picks.

Yeah, I hadn't seen that they gave up their own 2nd. Seems like they could have gotten more, but we'll see what happens.

 

[Marcelason78]

Kwesi is definitely an analytics guy. I'll reserve judgement until I see what they do with the picks.

They essentially trade spots in both the 1st and 2nd round with Detroit to pick up a third. Lost way too much first round value IMO.

 

[clonehenge]

I think it's this year's 3rd round pick from Detroit. 66 overall

You're right. ESPN didn't list the number so I assumed it was next year's 3rd...and my reading comprehension skills are turrible because I didn't see the 2022.

I like Elam but he is nowhere near as good as Hamilton or McDuffie. I don't think Elam falls that far. If we can get Zion Johnson or Kenyon Green at 32, a corner at 34... that would be decent. Then a tight end and safety in round 3. Guess it doesn't matter, this trade was a bonehead move.

Green has already been picked

And Zion is gone
