Man this draft has been fun as hell, we got our qb of the future and a dawg at edge rusher in the first round!!!! This gonna be fun to watch man SKOL!!!
As a Lions fan, I am both fearful and happy as hell for JJ. Best landing spot he could ask for, but I am fearful because I truly believe this dude is SPECIAL. He has both special talent and intangibles and has this clutch gene that you can only understand by watching him as often as Michigan fans did. He always made the play when we needed it most. People don’t fully understand how great he is going to be. I don’t look forward to facing him twice a year. He may need a year of grooming but in 2-3 years I have a feeling he is going to be contending for championships
@@WumpusYT. Still got at least one compensatory pick coming + whatever comes from the whole Falcons tampering situation. Also have a boatload of cap space in 2025 so it will be a more free agency oriented off-season I'm sure
They should get two 3rd round comp picks because of losing kirk and Danielle. They signed massive contracts which is what compensatory picks are decided on. @WumpusYT.
Three takeaways for the Vikings first round and offseason 1. We didn’t have to trade the house for a qb and drafted our guy at 10. 2. We drafted arguably the best defensive player in the draft at 17. Most people had him at 8 to the falcons. 3. Kwesi cooked this offseason. We now will have money to resign JJ and future signings for the foreseeable future. We also signed a few defensive players that will improve our defense and hopefully got the qb of the future. I’m really looking forward for this season. SKOL
@@jeremybruce654 Thanks it feels good. Michigan fans wanted JJ in Minnesota. It’s the best possible fit for him. Joel Klatt nailed it, except he had you trading with Harbaugh up to 5 to get him.
@edwardcorey1071 a reporter asked kwesi that after the draft was over and kwesi said "none of that information came from us" and something along the lines of kwesi thought it was funny because how made up it was.
@@cavedog1279 I was just about to say that, It's so often NOT the case. I've been super impressed with everything Kwesi and his boys have been able to accomplish the last few years and this draft is no exception. The team seems to be in as good of hands as its ever been in my lifetime and it's exciting to see.
@@gregpettis1113 As someone who has defensed Kirk, we know he will work. Everyone and their mom wanted Kirk gone so we could draft a real QB. This is it. This is the guy. This is the savior. He will be better than Kirk. I know this because I have been getting trashed for years for saying Kirk is pretty good. Don't go crying about it yet!
@@WillieDillard-iz8xbNonsense, him leaving was media created, thinking he's another Diggs, which he is not. It will be JJ throwing to JJ, hopefully leading to a Super Bowl win !!!
@@mikebaldock2706 then joke is on you if you fell for that, McCarthy fits what KOC wants to do best as a player plus also as a person. Dallas Turner best fit for B Flo when looking for edge!
Seems like they did a good job on round 1. Got their guy on QB and got a solid defensive addition. Congrats on the success and keep at it. I look forward to watching next season and the seasons to follow as JJ potentially steps up and into the leadership spot. Would love to see MN hoist up that trophy for the first time.
This was an amazing draft for the Minnesota Vikings. Essentially, we got two top 10 draft choices. JJ McCarthy was projected to be top five pick by many analysts. Dallas turner is easily a top 10 pick in most years. If it wasn’t for the first 13 picks being offense pics. Dallas, Turner would’ve been a top 10 pick this year. These two draft choices combined with the Vikings free-agent acquisitions, will give us a top ten offense, and a top ten Defense.
Lets go coach. You got the QB you wanted. Flores got the FAs he wanted plus a HUGE pick-up in Dallas Turner (DROY). Let's make some noise immediately. SKOL!!!
I'm a lion fan but I can say yall do have a good quarterback back now. Good job Vikings. I will be rooting for Minnesota when yall not playing us lol 😂.
Im a New Yorker and big NY Jets Fan and 50 years old this was a homerun pick great guy, great attitude,very good ability and will be a special player for years to comes in this league. Viking Fans your GM did well with this pick.
This absolutely blew my expectations out of the water! QB one AND a top tier pass rusher?? Folks if y’all aren’t sold on this regime yet, and I’m still waiting, but damn they killed it tonight!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Let’s freaking gooooooo!! SKOL FROM WYOMING 😈😈😈
Congratulations to J.J., Dallas and the Vikings! I’ve been watching J.J. throughout this process, leading up to the draft, and I think you guys scored a major bargain!
As a Michigan and McCarthy fan I was pleased that he landed with the Vikes. Love to see a young QB paired with a QB guru type coach, and there are some nice pieces around him. Really tough Division to compete in, these days. Could be a starter by what, week 6 or so?
I've felt confident in the last couple years when I've seen the moves and direction this front office has made, this draft was no exception. They seem to be in good hands now, finally!
When it comes to College football, I have been a life-long Buckeyes fan, so I am not supposed to like this pick! LOL Regardless, rationality must win over emotions, and I think that Kwesi A-M made a great choice in picking McCarthy. All along, I believed that Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy were - by far - the two most appropriate choices for the organization, and -by far - the two best fits for KOC & the Vikings roster. So, I am really looking forward to following McCarthy's arrival, development during the off-season, pre-season & beyond! SKOL!!!
MANY teams and corporations TALK about "changing the culture" etc. and many fail, I truly BELIEVE, KOC and the HAPPY CHEF are CHANGING the culture in a very positive way that ENGRAINS UNITY. This platoon will DOMINATE.
We got lucky we didn’t over pay the patriots at 3 and they decided to keep the pick otherwise no Turner at all and no 1st round pick next year.. thank god they didn’t accept the trade. It all worked out in the end
