We're going to get a really good read on him sooner than later on that team.

He’ll Get To Play Sooner

Rather than later.

Definitely a great situation

For a rookie QB, only draw back with that level of talent around him how patient will the fan base be if he struggles?

Yep.

We will know quickly on that guy. I wonder if NE got bluffed out of trading down with us? Maybe AZ and LAC didn't want to trade for reasonable cost and NE feared Minnesota moving up ahead of them at 6? Minnesota played their hand well I think.

It’s pretty obvious

The McCarthy stuff was a smokescreen. A team with a complete roster can take a chance on him, but he was not seen by QB needy teams as a franchise guy.

belichek was very positive on JJM

mentioned more negatives with all the other QBs.

"tough, great leader, alpha type, teammates love him, makes a lot of good decisions, he'll work well with the vikings"

I was surprised the Giants passed on him and I think he has a lot of upside. KOC likes to air it out but I expect him be a little more balanced pass/run.

Liked the Vikings DT pick as well. Flores did a very nice job with the D last season....

If JJM doesn’t have a better career than DJ

It's a pretty safe bet he will.

MIN is probably the perfect situation

for JJM

We know how this will play out. He ll be a stud.

Hopefully Nabers behaves so we have no regrets there.
