Draft Rumors

Archer : 4/25/2024 5:52 pm
It is rumored that the Viking's first preference is McCarthy.
Charley Walters who covers the Vikings is reporting that contrary to public perception the Vikings have JJ as their preferred QB.

Charley Walters: Look for Vikings to trade up to draft J.J. McCarthy

Mitchell Daily Republic
The way it looks now, as it has for months, the Minnesota Vikings will take quarterback J.J. McCarthy from national champion Michigan in Thursday’s NFL draft. To get McCarthy, the Vikings will trade their Nos. 11 and 23 first-round picks to either the Arizona Cardinals, who have the No. 4 pick, or the Los Angeles Chargers, who have No. 5.


So maybe rumor of Penix at

6 is true, to NE..

I said this a few days ago, Nayo can put his stamp on the team with His QB to learn behind Brisset..
Wonder if they wanted Maye originally and now  
Blue21 : 4/25/2024 5:56 pm : link
know they can't get him so are going for planB McCarthy. So if this is true what do the Patriots do at 6?
They’re likely telling Pats

If you trade with Giants we will move up and steal your guy.

Fa sho. I think the Patsies will blink first. Wolf and Mayo are novices and Kraft Sr. is too sentimental.
If it's a 3 way trade involving NE, AZ and NY...  
MOOPS : 4/25/2024 6:08 pm : link
with NY going to 3, NE to 4 and AZ to 6, all three win and get their guy. And the Vikes pound salt. No?

why the hell would we pay both NE and AZ instead of just trading with AZ - we know NE/NYG want different QBs - hosed
I don't believe it

.

1. Payout would basically be the same, just different recipients.
2. You 100% sure you know who NE wants?

Duke Castiglione on their 6 O’Clock Sportscast said he’s been told the Patriots will not trade out and will select Maye.
That’s what I kept being told  
GoDeep13 : 4/25/2024 6:33 pm : link
That the Giants and Vikings near the end have been very high on McCarthy. It’s seemingly why things have suddenly gone cold on a Vikings/Pats trade. They both really want JJ. Giants are willing to pivot to Maye.

So if the Patriots stay at 3 for JJ the Giants pivot to AZ for the #4 pick?
If  
AcidTest : 4/25/2024 6:40 pm : link
the Patriots stay at #3 and take Maye, the Giants should be able to get JJM if Arizona is willing to trade, since they presumably would not want to go below #6. But if the Cardinals stay at #4 and take MHJ, then the Vikings may be in a better position to trade with SD by offering #11 and #23.

Bingo. I like our odds to trade with Arizona. They don’t need a plethora of picks. Monty may take #70 and a 2025 2nd and be just fine with it.

GoDeep - apologies if this is a stupid question and redundant to what you said before. I thought when you and Rico broke the news earlier to Eric that it was more or less confirmed that the trade was done between NYG and NE? Or was it still tentative?

So now at this point, NYG is essentially hoping that NE doesn’t take Maye at 3 (like Tom Pelissero just reported)?

If NE takes Maye at 3, that would be infuriating. I suppose if NYG had McCarthy similarly rated to Maye, now they are forced to make a deal with ARI (like you said) or LAC. And praying that MIN doesn’t ship the farm to steal their pick?

Just trying to make sense of what happened from a few hours ago until what the plan might be now.

This would be a great outcome for Maye.
