But, if they can hoodwink the vikings into believing theyre after a qb. It creates panic for the qb needy teams behind them
Its gamesmanship. Creating leverage.
Az, chargers, giants, titans etc... all the way from pick 3 to pick 11. Nobody is going to draft a qb.
Like Jim harbaugh said yesterday. If theres 4 qb's picked before chargers #5 pick. Essentially, the chargers have the 1st pick of the non qb draft.
The only thing the vikings should be concerned about is Denver &/or Vegas trading up.
However. If everybody stays patient- mn, den, lv. There will be at least 3 of the top 6 qb's still on the board for the 11, 12, 13 picks.
Of course the media hacks are reporting cards are thinking qb, giants, jets, titans too. Bc they all know- 6 qbs go off the board in top 13 picks.
So? Cardinals. If they trade back to #11. Charge 2 1st round picks. They get the 5th or 6th best non qb plus a pick at 23. That could be 2 plus players with all-pro potential instead of 1.
Teams never say who or what position they actually want. Especially as we get closer to draft day. Instead- they spread disinformation & try & create a overpriced trade market for the slot theyre in.
We've all witnessed this game for the past 25-40 years. Dont fall for the crapola the media is spreading. The media hacks are all hungry for news. Scoops. They become the patsy in this game.
Frankly, they dont care if its a blatent lie. As soon as they post the lie. It becomes rumor. Fans eat rumors up like its double chocolate cake with vanilla stawberry sauce & champagne.
Everything posted from the combine until the final day of the draft is likely dubious bs at best.
Dont feel bad falling for russia grade disinformation. At least 1 nfl gm, paid to know better. Will panic & fall for it. Give away assetts to get a player he would have gotten if he had the courage to stand pat.
Childress & Spielman famously got hoodwinked into trading up to get Tavaris Jackson. Lets hope Kwesi doesnt swallow the hook.
McCarthy, Maye, Nix, Penix. All virtually equal in potential with each having a differing red flag. One of them will likely go to Patriots. The other 3 will be available at the Jets pick at #10. The raiders are who the jets want to trade with bc they'll offer the most & vikings/ Denver will draft a qb.
In all actuality- the qb of that group of 4 that is least likely to succeed is probably Maye. But he also has the highest ceiling.
Notice the pats have cooled off on Maye & are spreading McCarthy vibes. Most likely that too is a smoke screen. The pats have Brisett as a 1 or 2 year bridge. As well as a depleted offensive roster. I wouldnt be surprised to see them trade down a time or 2 in the top 15. Select a qb later at 13 pick up a few 2nd rounders in the process & be clam happy to land Penix or Maye..
Trade down with chargers or Giants- then again with falcons, vikes, raiders or broncos. And still land a 1st round qb thats a better prospect than anything available in the next 2 drafts.
There is a ton of talent in this final covid enhanced draft. Teams with multiple day 2 picks in 2024 will score big.
