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...

I think we've seen that small WRs can be successful if they're used properly. He has a lot more technical refinement than he gets credit for and Steichen is an offensive mind that could make use of his explosiveness while minimizing the issues his size could present. I think he's way closer to TY than John Ross.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how Josh Downs does with a full year of NFL experience under his belt.

@VikingsFanInChennai Kirk is stunned.

I think the entire nfl world is. But let’s face it, it’s still Kirk’s team. They just want the kid to ride behind him to learn. Kirk likely retires in two years, this kid takes over and the Falcons have the potential to be good for a long while if either of them or both pan out

Why did everyone believe that Dejean would be drafted by Green Bay?

They apparently have a thing for Iowa guys and I think experts were lining up to mock DeJean to them, lol.

Brett Kollmann was saying he's heard someone mention that with the possible Cousins tampering, they could expect to lose their 1st round pick next year, so they made the QB move this year while they still could.

I don't get why they drafted him. It seemed like a reach. It was not a need. They could have drafted Odunze or any number of defensive players. I don't get it.

I did not think of that.

Because Kirk only has 2 or 3 years left. It is like Rodgers and Love. I get it, also Penix was the best pure passer in this draft.

What would you find out?

 

That was said about the current pass rushers. Which Ballard seems to agree


If it can’t sustain… I think that concern was just addressed. With a new and revered d-line coach and a high level pass rusher that will be on the field often from the start, this defensive line will bring pressure. If the back end improves (and it should just from an offseason growth standpoint, let alone any further additions from here) the defensive line could elevate big time from a pressure standpoint.

The Cardinals taking Darius Robinson. I would've liked CB, IOL or DT here, but there's been a run on DEs, so I guess they felt they needed to get in on it.

I think they get the benefit of the inside/outside versatility with Robinson.

Many QBs drafted in the 1st round have had to ride the bench and back up a veteran before getting their own chance to run the offense - Philip Rivers definitely didn't like it but in the end, I think overall he was better for the experience.

True. They are moving from 3-4 to 4-3 as well, so they really need to revamp almost all of that Dline.

Not too brag or anything but I told everyone in here that Penix should go in the top 10 in the draft. I had him in my mock going to the Giants at 6. People actually told me no way he goes top 10 and some laughed. I was like ok, watch and see. 

 

My original mock was:

1. Caleb Williams to the Bears

2. Jayden Daniels to the Commanders

3. Drake Maye to the Pats

4. Marvin Harrison Jr to the Cards

5. Malik Nabors to the Chargers (I was wrong there)

6. Michael Penix Jr to the Giants

7. Joe Alt to the Titans

8. Dallas Turner to the Falcons

-that was my top 8.

      2025 Mock Draft

      By tweezy32 · Posted

      I'm all for doubling down and going EDGE in the 1st again. Just got to make sure we get the right one. Depending on where we draft, I'm okay with trading up a couple of picks to snatch the better pass rusher of the bunch. Since there will be a good amount of rushers, I hear, let's go get the better one. I can also see the draft being the opposite as this years. Most teams will go defense now in this draft, and very good offensive players fall. I think we are perfect on offense, that's why I'm okay with trading up to get the guy we need on defense.

      IMHO , its all about perspective   If you treat Pierce as WR1, you will be disappointed   If you treat Pierce as a solid contributor, you will be pleased   - The man can block, maybe the best blocking WR on this team - The man has speed - The man can rotate in with our other WRs   I do believe that AD Mitchell will take over as a starting outside WR   The reality is, 17 games is a LONG season,    Pittman and AD Mitchell will be "fresher" for the end of the game as they are rotated in and out   The odds say that there will be injuries, and we could see Pierce be a starter on either side   I for one, WANT to keep Pierce thru his rookie deal (We will see after that)

      Zach Moss is no RB1.  If he showed signs he was the Bills wouldn’t have traded him for Hines who also is no RB1.  Moss is a RB 2.  A good one too.  Fortunately for him a season playing behind the Colts OL worked out favorably for him. Moss became available because we have an RB1 and the Bengals jumped at the chance to fill a hole in their lineup and Moss can do that like he did for the Colts when Taylor wasn’t available.  He is not a back teams have to worry about like they have to do for Taylor.  Every team needs an RB1.  He was the Bills RB1 for a short time and shipped off to the Colts for Hines.  And they drafted him.  He certainly belongs on a NFL roster.  I wish he stayed to back up Taylor.  But money and opportunity always talks as it should.  I worry about our RB position if something happens to Taylor for a long period.  I think we should be looking for a proven player who would be that true backup you can rely on behind Taylor.  Right now that backup position is a position that concerns me.   The other being starting FS.
