jvm52106 : 3/15/2024 9:50 am : link
very possibly.. However, I am starting to think that maybe they are looking to a team that is dumping their players (LAC)- JJ and two #1's for Herbert???

Mike in NY : 3/15/2024 9:54 am : link
Unless you think that there is a dropoff after about pick 15 whereby 42 will get you someone identical why not wait until Draft Day to make this sort of deal? What if someone unexpected falls to 23?
Hmm

I will not suffer anxiety or angst over things we have no control over. Plus, if you make decisions out of fear you will make bad decisions.

No it’s really really on now. Vikings don’t make this trade unless they’ve been told they needed to obtain certain picks to compete in a trade.

man giving up #6 and potentially another top 10 pick next year would be too rich for my taste. We aren't better than Dallas or Philly right now. You would have to be nearly 100% sure that QB is going to be a stud to make that move.
The Giants still have more draft capital than Minnesota does

At face value it seems weird but if they have 20 guys lumped together than it makes sense. They can also move back up, but have already secured that 2nd next year.

AcidTest : 3/15/2024 9:57 am : link
wouldn't want them to try, but I don't think the Giants could match three #1's. My guess is the maximum the Giants would offer to move up is #47 and our #1 next year. That is a lot less than three #1's. As I said, if Minnesota wants to do this, then let them do so. Getting into bidding wars for players is a terrible draft strategy. And none of Williams, Maye, Daniels, or McCarthy should be confused with Allen, Mahomes, Herbert, or Jackson. Stay at six or trade down.

Their roster is hot garbage. I don’t like this strategy from Kwesi. Lot of Viking fans think he’s out of his head running a team and he’s struggled filling in roster talent the last year or two. Think they also have Hockenson hurt and gave him huge deal after surrendering bunch of picks.

They're not getting to 1 or 2 (probably even 3) with that and if they're cool with Maye or JJM at 4/5, fine by me.

The Giants 1st and 2nd rounders are more valuable than the 2 Minnesota 1's per this chart so they wouldn't have to match 3 1's necessarily. Minnesota also doesn't have a 2nd or 3rd this year or a 2nd next year

is a trade with the Giants. I'm not convinced that the Giants want McCarthy. They are still talent deficient in many areas. Get two good players at 11 and 23.

Our 1st and 2nd are worth a little more than 11 & 23 on the draft trade charts.

I disagree. The Giants will be pretty bad too plus 6 vs 11 is a big drop-off in this draft. Plus the Giants *have* more they could add in that Minnesota doesn't. Minnesota is out a 2nd and 3rd this year and a 2nd next year. Doesn't mean the Giants should or will do it, but they could easily top Minnesota's best offer.

I still think teams would rather have #11 and #23, but I am also thinking that Minnesota will include their #1 next year.

I’d go for that. But there’s no guarantee for Minnesota that a QB they want will be there at 6.
Luckily for the Giants  
Big Rick in FL : 3/15/2024 10:05 am : link
Their 6th pick is a lot more valuable than 11.

The Vikings still have to find a trade partner that would be willing to miss out on the blue chip prospects.
