    Rocco is 6’1” but throws like he’s Doug Flutie

    Purdy went to a QB guru before the draft who improved his mechanics. I'm sure Shanahan has done some work as well. Purdy also goes to a guy down in Florida (don't know if it's the same guy he worked with pre-draft or not) in the off-season who continues to improve his throwing motion. But...

    From Alec Lewis on Darnold's mini camp-- Darnold looked calm, confident and prepared for what is likely to be another starting opportunity. Thursday, he surveyed receivers in a seven-on-seven rep, then placed the ball perfectly in stride toward second-year receiver Jordan Addison. Once Addison...

    From Alec Lewis on JJ's mini camp-- Overarching quarterback observations are largely unimportant at this stage, and none are a referendum on McCarthy’s potential. The Vikings structured their practices with little 11-on-11 work. The quarterbacks mostly threw on their own, with some...

    Yes, there's no pass rush. Yes, they're not wearing pads. Yes, it was one throw...but damn, that was one good throw.

    I've heard Darnold has looked really good...but people have pointed out that he's looked great in the past until the pressure is on in games.

    ***2025 Minnesota Vikings***

    Who have you listened to? I've listened to Alec Lewis and Ben Goessling on various podcasts. They haven't said anything derogatory about JJ. They both said you can see the arm talent. The ball just comes out differently when he throws. Goessling said he's been pretty good with the deep throws...

    I believe he's currently set to make just over $19M this year without the new deal. I guess the life changing bit is the $100M guaranteed money he's expected to get with the new contract. Don't disagree, if I got $19M this year, that would be life changing money. $100M (~$33M/yr) is what I...

    Good article on McCarthy. https://theathletic.com/5450390/2024/04/26/jj-mccarthy-vikings-nfl-draft-2024/

    Field and Mel were talking up Rodriguez so who knows. Sounds like he's got a good motor. They'd better sign Risner now. Although it seems like their lack of getting a G in the draft might mean they're planning to start Brandel. Don't really understand the kicker pick. Seems like they could've...

    ***2025 Minnesota Vikings***

    It was my understanding that there would be no math :) Yeah, I didn't factor the Texans trade in. But even with the value difference in that, it only becomes an estimated high 3rd rounder. Agree with Risner on speed dial and throw in Xavien Howard on that as well.

    ***2025 Minnesota Vikings***

    I wasn't really trying to prove any kind of point by posting that, it was more informational than anything. And I didn't think the differences were all that egregious. I've seen people on Twitter saying with all the trades the Vikings did they essentially lost a mid 1st round pick or gave up 3...

    So according to the Rich Hill Draft Value Chart... Trade with Jets: 10 = 369, 203 = 5 Total = 374. 11 = 358, 129 = 18, 157 = 11 Total = 387 Trade with Jags: 17 = 296 23 = 245 167 = 9 2025 3rd (mid-round) = 50 2025 4th (mid-round) = 23 Total = 327 Who...

    Price for Turner was maybe a little steep. But he was a projected top 10 pick that most mocks had going to Atlanta at 8...thanks Atlanta for taking Penix! And I think he'll come in with a chip on his shoulder because he dropped out of the top 10. Plus, he's a Bama player...SEC Defensive Player...

    They should get a compensatory pick next year (hopefully a 3rd) for losing Cousins.

    What about taking Daniel Carlson in the 5th round and then cutting him after 2 games because he missed 3 FGs?
