Who likes Turner for the Vikes?

Better to AZ than to the Pats! I would have been in physical pain watching him in that jersey... and his dad watching him there...

He's somebody that can be effective immediately.  He doesn't need seasoning.  Give him a helmet, and let him play.


and let him grow. If he stays healthy, he will be a pillar of this franchise moving forward.

Agreed. He may be a day 1 starter. Not only that, EDGE will fall off quickly and we can get a CB and WR on day 2.

Oh and now I'm finding out he was told to medically retire due to a neck injury. Fantastic. Surely that can't backfire.

 

I hope he's the exception to all the DE misses this front office has had at high spots during Ballards tenure. I remember when we were all high on Paye as well lol.

 

 

Paye was selected at 15 too…

Thanks… did we trade back that year and still get Paye?

Latu wasn't on my radar for us, but I don't dislike it. He's a very high floor guy that will make an impact immediately.

My concern is the injury history. Yeah it’s been two years. Two years since he was told to retire

The reality is folks, we’re not set long term in having a dominant Edge player. Ebukam is a solid stop gap, Dayo is a swing DE/DT, and Paye hasn’t played well enough for the Colts to pick up his 5th year.

 

With QB and LT sorted long term, it makes sense to now aim to get a top Edge rusher. There is still capital to improve our WR and CB rooms too.

@NFLfan and @VikingsFanInChennai Congrats on getting your Hunter successor. That's who I thought he compared to pre-draft. 

Nice... Good picks, I don't know what we gave up to move higher, probably next year draft pick :D this GM has been giving up future draft picks, especially in day 1 and 2, for the present.. (TJ Hock trade, Texans trade, now this Trade to move up). But he is very active in free agency, so hope the moves do work out better than the past.

I would say it is confusing why they are trading away so many picks

 

Maybe they feel the best players are in the first round. I read that the draft is not as strong because the NIL kept underclassmen in school. (They originally traded from the 2nd round to #21 with the intent to package it to trade up to draft Maye or Daniels. Trading up to #3 or #4 did not happen.)

 

I'm glad to get two first round picks tonight but we have very few picks the rest of the draft.

Same here. I can live with it. I don't know how to feel right now because I wasn't on my radar either. 

I don't think he was really on anyones radar.    Most thought he'd go top 10 and we didn't have a chance.   I am super happy

Next year's 3rd round and 4th round picks and a late pick this year. I don't like giving up all these picks.

Which is the opposite of what most articles were saying. This is also the last year of the extra year for Covid . So that also kept younger underclass man in college this year more so than the NIL money

So, you don't have to just sleep off day 2 of 2024 draft (tomorrow)..

 

But, you'll have to sleep off Day 2 of NFL Draft Next Year as well :funny:

      So this Anthony Richardson guy...........

      By Smonroe · Posted

      I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.

      Practice Squad

      By JMichael557 · Posted

      I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.
