Okay. Drake Maye is at the draft. He looks like the prototypical QB. We will see.

Williams reminds me a bit of Aaron Rogers in personality and how he plays. @Superman?

Yes, JT likes McCarthy more than Maye. I think I will be happy with any of the top four. After that, there is a huge dropoff and they are older. Penix is not only older but has a history of injuries. I would be very disappointed drafting Nix or Penix with #11, even with #23.

They said the same thing about Lamar Jackson. Actually many thought he would not make it in the NFL...running QB, etc Vikes FO likes Maye

Thanks. That is a lot of sleepers. Looking at those names, Jordan Magee, Sundiata Anderson, and Trey Taylor are from smaller schools. I have my eye on Myles Cole and Myles Harden. We need a RB.

I really don't know. Early on I wanted Maye, but then I wanted Daniels. There is a lot I like about McCarthy. They all have positives and negatives. Williams seems a bit conceited, like Levis last year. I think I like Daniels best then McCarthy. McCarthy is the youngest and he seems very calm and mature. He seems intelligent. My biggest fear is drafting someone that becomes the second Christian Ponder.

What did Greeny say about the Vikes and our quest for a QB this year?

I know. Two to so months ago, Vikings fans discussed the impact of trading Herbert; we all agreed that logistically it would not work for the Chargers. I would have loved it.

No, but I would love that! Is that true? Where did you hear that? I don't think that will happen. I heard that trading Herbert would result in a huge dead cap hit for the Chargers, that would make it nearly impossible to keep or sign other players.

I'm not in Indiana, but I am so ready for the draft. I should have taken the day off. I would be surprised to see that trade. The pats have said they have not received serious offers to trade back. But that would be great to see Marvin Harrison's son as a Colt.

Ballard Mafia? I think I may be among those. 😂 (I'm a fan of Ballard's.) Seriously, there is no reason for anyone to go after any member. There is no reason to ridicule or bait people. Some here do that. All sides have to keep in mind that when people are silenced, you lose what makes this forum great. Exchanging different ideas makes the forum more fun. Imagine if everyone wrote the same opinions and thoughts. It would be boring. All the best on the draft! (If Ballard drafts Bowers, will you join Ballard Mafia? )

I did not vote, as I really don't have a favorite. I guess whoever the Vikings draft will be my favorite, especially if we do not trade up for him. The Vikings like Maye. I would be okay with him or Daniels or McCarthy. Experts love McCarthy. Many Vikings fans do too. Why don't Colts fan think highly of McCarthy?

That is not a popular opinion here. Some love Kirk as if he did so much for us. Keenum won 13 regular season games for the Vikings in 2017 with a tiny fraction of what Kirk was paid. Anyway, let's keep this to draft related stuff. Who are your sleepers in this draft? Who do you think will be the QB of the future for the Vikes? I'm really nervous about this draft. 😂

I selected him in the live Mock draft on the Vikings site for the Titans.

I thought Odunze may drop to the Giants. My friend who is a Giants season-ticket holder said he believes the Giants are drafting WR in the first round. I think it may be Odunze if not one of the other two (Nabers and Harrison).

@Restinpeacesweetchloe What are you hearing about the draft that we may be intrigued by?

Are there players that you feel are getting too much hype? Who are your sleepers? @Defjamz26@w87r . @stitches @John Hammonds Anyone else...

Who is your favorite player that you would like the Colts to draft?

I was wondering what happened to you. I think you did a good job defending yourself. You should not let others take away your love of football or of this site. Hopefully I will see some of your posts on the draft.

Penix is dropping a lot. I wonder where he goes. 3rd round? I hope Nabers drops to the Giants. It would be nice to see him in the NorthEast.

Excellent article on the Athletic https://theathletic.com/5420476/2024/04/22/nfl-draft-nil-money-impact?source=user-shared-article NIL money has changed the draft. This year a much smaller number of underclassmen declared for the draft. Many players who could have made the draft stronger stayed in school because they get paid in college. Also, many believe that because many underclassmen stayed in school, only about 150 to 170 are draftable (have the talent to be drafted). Some getting drafted this year would have been undrafted in earlier years. It should be a fun draft anyway.

The writer of an article in The Falcoholic believes the punishment will come next year, not this year. He thinks it is too late to render punishment that will affect this year's draft. However, he thought the punishment would be stiff.

I want good things for my Vikings. I would welcome the swap but I am not expecting it. If it happens, great.

Anyone know which players have been invited to the draft?

Everyone seems to believe that Denver will draft Nix. Is he that good? I watched a podcast on the Athletic with Dane Bugler, Nate Tice and another person interviewing them. Bugler and Tice did not seem to like Nix or Penix but liked Nix better. Tice liked Spencer Rattler better than Nix or Penix. Nate Tice said Penix should be picked in Round 3 or Day 3 (I forgot).
