Ugh don't give up a bunch of assets to grab a QB. There are plenty of holes on this roster. Build a good roster and then fit a QB to that roster and put them in a good situation

Vikings jump Giants for quarterback in latest mock draft
The Minnesota Vikings have the draft capital to move up for a signal-caller next month. That could be bad news for the New York Giants.
Fascinating mock today. Has the Vines not making another move—and still getting McCarthy. And a corner.
With the bonus of TJ going 33rd.

I’ve been watching all of the free agent and trade action. First, all of the highly drafted QB’s sliding around for next to nothing. Exacerbated for all of the veterans at other positions being traded for nothing better than a third rounder.
Is it really worth the risk of a huge pile of draft capital to trade way, way up?
Guessing that the salary cap hits some of these guys come attached with deflates the compensation returned, but still.
I can’t see it being worth it to trade way up for McCarthy. Maye, maybe, if they like him that much.

Can only hope KOC knows how to evaluate QBs and the Vikes get lucky that the pick pans out.

I'm really hoping one of the top 3 picks is JJ McCarthy and the Vikings somehow can get Daniels. Doubtful, but you never know.
The Chiefs aren't going to take a single1st round draft pick for Mahomes.
Need a little help here, please. I don’t follow the Vikes as obsessi—er, as closely as I used to.
What are the current holes? Aside from QB, I gather that LG is gaping, and I’ve heard that Ed Ingram isn’t working out on the right side.
I’ve seen suggestions of needing a better NT, and arguments for and against corner. And…safety, or not?
Thanks in advance…

Big needs at QB and DL. Next is LB followed by G. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Viking draft without taking one or two DBs.
Don't forget K now that Joseph signed with the pack
But DT, LB and CB (like every year) are a must. Hoping they end up bringing Risner back at G.
IMO Vikings should draft Penix Jr. Yes, he has had some medical issues. But made like 26 straight starts over the last two years with no injuries. The guy lives for football. Football plays on bathroom mirrors shows his obsession. He is 24. So would be 29 when second contract is due. Plenty young. Penix Jr. even won and excelled at Indiana before going to Washington.
Take him at 11 if you must. Then get the best defender at 23. You could roll the dice and see if he lasts till 23. But I wouldn’t. Penix Jr. will develop quicker. The window for Super Bowl is sooner, not later.

Certainly can make all of these arguments. Seems like there is most talking head interest in JJ with the Vikes pick. Not only do you have to worry if he is the right guy, but the price will be very high. Most intriguing pick in the draft is what the Vikes do at QB.
The Vikings have 1 good WR (JJ). The rest of the team is one big giant hole.
