Amos will never be there, but it is a nice trade down package if we could get it.

Scenario where NO traded up to get a QB like Dart. Leaves us with a package that could look something like this. I am higher on Blue than a lot I have seen. Good in the passing game with the ability to find the gap and follow his blocking. Has fumbling issues however, with I believe losing 4 of them in 2024. Concerns me but can be coached. Good at pass blocking.

I like Jaydon Blue. Fast, home run hitter. I could see him a future RB2 and change of pace RB with take it to the house potential. Smaller however and isn't always mentally strong. I could see him be RB2 in 2026 or cut and bopping around training camps looking for a job.

Worth taking in my opinion. I think KOC could have fun with him in this offense. Very fast with cutting ability that is underrated IMO. Watch some of his stuff, he can make defenders look stupid and it's like he doesn't even lose a step or speed when doing it.

Sounds like moving some 26 draft capital might be in play.

I think DJ's right. With no QBs to get excited about and the depth of pass rushers, we could see the fewest trades we've ever seen, especially between 12 and 64. Just so little difference between the players in that tier. 

If the Vikings are able to trade down, I don't think they get much for it. We may have to stick and pick at 24 and use the 3rd rounder (or 26 picks) to flesh out the back half of our draft. That's gonna make for a boring and pickless Friday night for Viking fans.

Tried to break the mold a bit and draft guys I typically don’t. Burden instantly put our 3 WR set in the top 2, and we’re not second. Tuten has massive explosive play rate. He’ll need to clean up fumbles and pass blocking but in a limited role early on I take cheap chunk plays. Both iDL get in the rotation.

I am trending toward agreeing with this. I think many stay put, especially in the first. In the year we really need a trade back from our 1. GO figure.

Took the Master of all that is knowing and perfect one's advice and went out the normal. Caldwell is a bit of tweener to me, doesn't have a set position on the line I feel. He would be the prefect compliment and rotational player for us. Flores could use someone like him when it's the right time. Neal, I feel could be an every down back. Just does things well and is well rounded. Ransom, great LOS player. Can disrupt just about any play. S that can dominate at the point of attack and cause turnovers. I am not a huge fan of getting a S like that, but he could be a major play maker for us.

Im not saying this is getting to be a consensus pick, but this sure seems like it is becoming a consensus pick.

I'm a fan of taking talented college underachievers from big schools late/UDFA, lots of NFL upside. An RB from Texas that is RB3 there is going to have all kinds of physical abilities. Sometimes the light bulb goes on late.

This is pretty good. Took a shit ton of maneuvering, and some unrealistic rankings by PFF. But didn't force a single trade, gave up a 2026 3rd, 4th, 5th and two 6ths to get what I wanted, but also got back a 2026 3rd, 4th, 5th and a 6th by maneuvering in the back half of the draft, and ended up with what I would consider a pert'near perfect draft.

So as ridiculous and crazy shithouse this mock is, I'd take it in a nanosecond.

F yah I'd take that and dance a jig...Player meets needs too. 

Harmon and Trey this year? And then the promise of JJM + Turner from 24?

Thx for putting that in my fan dreams MB.

Great mock. That is some maneuvering for sure. That would be a perfect draft. Lot of players I like and have mocked. I think you have to get Revel. No matter what. Love Malachi Moore and Kyle Williams.... Seriously get that done lol

The final piece to the Maul of America. This pick screams karma with the tie in to JJ.
