This is the reason he’ll go down as one of the great presidents.  He always finds a way to get things done.

Vikings will try hard to trade down but will find no takers. They will, however, trade down from 97 into the 4th round, drawing a 4th rounder in return, and with multiple comp picks next year will trade a ’26 3rd rounder for a ’25 4th rounder, giving them three 4ths, hitting Kwesi’s target of 6 total picks.

I feel (supremely...modestly...not at all) confident that our 1st pick will be either Donovan Jackson, Tre Henderson or Derrick Harmon. I’ll go with Jackson. I think the compulsion to draft a player who can stand in for Darrisaw until he’s ready is real. I think Booker is a great intangible fit, but questionable scheme fit, that safety and running back can wait, and the Vikings intend to shore up CB with a veteran.

1.24 - Donovan Jackson, G/T (Alt: Derrick Harmon, DT or Tre Henderson, RB)
4a - Sai’vion Jones, DL (Alt: Demetrius Knight, LB)
4b - Jonas Sanker, S (Alt: Yahya Black, DL)
4c - Jeffrey Bassa, LB (Alt: Jacory Croskey-Merritt, RB)
5.139 - Brashard Smith, RB (Alt: Zah Frazier, CB, Bilhal Kone, CB)
6.187- Ben Yurosek, TE (Alt: Thomas Fidone II, TE )

Players the Vikings might pick early that will raise some eyebrows: Aireontae Ersery, OT, Carson Schwesinger, LB

Vikings post draft players: Willie Lampkin, Kalel Mullings, RB, Zion Childress, S, Bilhal Kone, CB, Nazir Stackhouse, NT, Max Brosmer, QB, Warren Brinson, DT, Jacob Bayer, IOL, Cody Lindenberg, LB, Chandler Brayboy, WR

• I don’t know what the record for fewest trades in the 1st round, but I think this draft breaks that record. There will be two trades, one for Jeanty and one for one of the QBs
  
• Vikings will draft a RB, a Safety, a Linebacker and a TE.
  
• Vikings will either have no picks on day one OR no picks on day two.
  
• No matter how many Viking fans say they want to trade down there will be bitching if/when it happens
  
• Vikings will draft a linebacker earlier than anyone expects
  
• Vikings at some point will draft either TE Thomas Fidone II or TE Ben Yurosek
  
• If the Vikings don’t take a back earlier, they will draft one of RB Jacory Croskett-Merritt or RB Brashard Smith on day three
  
• Players who will go earlier than expected: Grey Zabel, Donovan Jackson, Carson Schwesinger, Darien Porter, Jacob Parrish, Ty Robinson
  
• Players who will go later than expected: Will Johnson, Tet McMillan, Walter Nolen, Jahdae Barron, Cam Skattebo
  
• Good players who will go undrafted: Willie Lampkin
  

I don't think I could make this s**t up. Beyond stumping for this buddy's electric cars on the White House lawn, even beyond using the Easter Egg Roll as a corporate investor "hang" event, even beyond the obvious buy-ins that got Elon and others direct influence with our traitor-in-chief...
...using OUR White House for his Crypto event is a special low. Redcaps, rejoice, at the new level of national prostitution!

"Reservations are limited to the top 220 investors in $TRUMP, a cryptocurrency that President Trump launched on the eve of his inauguration. Trump's meme coin generated nearly $100 million in trading fees in February, despite small traders losing money on investments. The coin's value plummeted in early March with investors losing roughly $12 billion, but value was up nearly 50% today upon news that the biggest $TRUMP holders get a dinner with President of the United States. This suggests investors may be running to buy the coin to qualify for a dinner seat."

The Founding Fathers are spinning in their own dusty vomit.

1 team ran over 600 times last year, Philadelphia.

4 teams ran over 500 times last year, none in 2023.

19 teams ran more than they did in 2023. 

What does it mean? Maybe a kid like Kenneth Grant has a little more value than previous years. Or CJ West, or JJ Pegues. Maybe a monster road grader like Tyler Booker has more value. Maybe a iLB like Demetrius Knight who can stop the run, rush the passer, AND cover has more value. Maybe RBBC means having 3 guys not just 2. 

It will be interesting to see if any of this starts playing out in the next 30 or so hours. It’s a copycat league, maybe we try to get ahead of the curve and prepare early for the new trend. Even better, set the tone.

How to Raise a Quarterback: NFL Players and Executives Debate Best Environment
Prospective NFL QBs and their helicopter parents are enjoying more and more influence in the draft process. So how do they decide which franchise is the best fit?

For draft night...

May as well get this thread kicked off, we're 2 days out. Interesting to see how much of this will end up being true:
