  Hadn’t Pondered That
Posted by: JustInTime - 15 minutes ago - Forum: The Longship - No Replies



The funny thing is the progression of my evaluation of McCarthy was the same as Ponder. Started off thinking Ponder would be a great Day 2 pick. After we traded that 3rd for Moss, I thought ok, a 2nd is a bit rich but doable. I can live with that.

Fast forward to 2023. Watched as many QBs as I could during the college season. Saw McCarthy several times and thought he’s ok, but man you just don’t see the volume. Can this guy win a shootout? No evidence of that at all. 

Draft season progresses and there’s talk of McCarthy going in the first and I’m like this is Ponder all over again. I’m texting with MB and another friend sharing my concerns but MB is pretty sold on JJ but I’m not there yet. This goes on for weeks if not months. 

First milestone is I get to the point where I believe he’ll be available at 11 but definitely not worthy of 11 but because of the position and the need yada yada yada, it’s probably the most likely outcome. I’m still holding out for Penix despite the injury history and his ability to throw deep.

Second milestone is after more texts and more discussion with MB I’m convinced JJ is going in the first and please 8 lbs 6 oz baby Jesus be there at 11 if  Penix is gone. This is probably 2-3 weeks before the draft. So now all we have to do is wait.

Draft day comes, Atlanta is surely picking Dallas Turner here to fix their anemic pass rush. Oh shit there goes Penix. Fuck. Now I’m convinced that massive pos from Denver Sean Payton is jumping in front of us to grab McCarthy and we’re going to be stuck with Nix, who I hated. Trade gets announced with the 10 slot open, here it comes…and it’s US! 

And that boys and girls was my journey to getting sold on JJ. Now all he has to do is live up to the massive expectations we all have.

Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah:

"We wanted to build the type of team that could support a young quarterback who we're excited about being here, competing every day.

You don't know what January football's going to be like. You want to build a team that can win any type of game, and that's what we set out to do, and will continue to do so when the draft comes."

  Profile of the "TDS Believer"!
Posted by: Zanary - Yesterday, 09:40 AM - Forum: Sensitive Topics - Replies (12)

This couldn't be MORE appropriate...and basically confirms how I see the tools pretending this is a real thing:

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/new...s?from=mdr

"-Eichorn, a Grand Rapids, Minnesota native, has served in the state Senate since 2017. A Republican and married father of four, he represents District 6 in north-central Minnesota. On the day of his arrest, he was one of five Republican co-sponsors of a bill seeking to classify "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TDS) as a mental illness."

Trying to hook up with a teenage girl...TOTALLY on brand, for anyone who remembers the many times "family values" GOP members get busted for similar issues.

SO...if you like to parrot the drool-and-pedophilia-soaked "TDS" babble, please-think of the children...

...but NOT IN THAT WAY.

Thanks for playing, and have a spectacular day!


Maybe they just love his full-ANTIFA tactics, to go along with his ignoring due process and Constitutional violations?

Golly, what could be more "presidential"?

  Evaluation of KAM's Use of Draft Capital
Posted by: JR44 - 03-25-2025, 10:47 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (13)

Quote:In all, by the Stuart chart, Adofo-Mensah traded away 10 picks and 73 points worth of draft capital. In return, he landed the 10th and 17th picks and sixth- and seventh-round selections. Those picks are worth 37.4 points. In other words, the Vikings paid nearly $2 for every $1 of draft capital they used. The difference between the two sides is more than the value of the No. 1 overall pick (34.6 points) in a typical draft.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_...-offseason

For a guy who worked on Wall Street, he is not great at maximizing capital.  Would not be as bad if he was getting great value on his picks, but then he has compounded these errors with awful selections.  Having 1 starter out of the last 3 drafts really hurt us last year.  Hopefully the trend somehow changes next month.
