How would you know it's a reach to get Hooker at number 23? If another team would trade up to 29 and pick him, would picking him at 23 still be a reach? You either reach for a player and pick him, or you don't get him.
I’m totally ok with waiting for a Kirko replacement until next year or even further into the future; I’m also ok with getting him now. But at some point, I WOULD like to have a rookie QB to put my hopes and dreams into for the future.
We haven’t even had THAT since Ponder, and that was just a mirage.
Mackey great point good research no one eles could see the comparison with the packers in 2020 great work
We need a guy l Iike micah parsons maybe joey porter jr a guy thats fast and cant be stopped
4th and 8…
Just move on from Kirk! No more extensions. They need to draft a young QB this year or next year. Hendon Hooker is not on my radar. Avoid him like the plague. Drafting a QB in his late 20s and soon to be 30 would be a bad move.
No get a qb now and have him sit bihind Kirk for 2 seasons and have Kirk for couples years it’s not like Vikings going far or winning a Super Bowl and draft a WR and LB and offense line Vikings need to trade back
Look who picks after us, maybe get a later first round pick, turn our third to a second and still get hooker
The hell w even thinking qb anymore!
Bored bored bored of the idea of knowing what and where and when and who can get this team to that award for winning the last game in a professional football league tournament.
Doesn't matter whether it's a Qb1 Rb1 Wr1 place kick 1
Somebody will do something they shouldn't do that are more than capable of getting done but bonehead it and ill be watching skor north thus time next year
I'm going to keep watching this team
Here's my question why move up at all unless you go get the best QB SKOL NATION second best never really wins so the way I view it is if you like any top 3 QBs in a draft is the only QBs to take if you want higher odds so I'd only take Richardson or Stroud or Young if you want to save a franchise or have the so called franchise QB if you're trading picks to move up why waste it on the like of 4th best down so I'm out on Levis and McKee and Hooker so go get a QB yes but only one of the top 3 I'd be absolutely pissed if we took WILL BUM LEMON 🍋 LEVIS cause Im a Kentucky fan as well saw enough of this poor QB play that I don't want it on my NFL team
I don’t see nothing from the Vikings next season and a tough schedule I got them going 10-7 in the wild card again and lose
I honestly think the vikings are gonna move up 2 the 3rd pick
Hey Mackey. Glad to see your eye sty is clearing up you were starting to look like a reptilian !😅🐉🐲
I think the Packers were conservative how they drafted love. Let him play behind Rodgers for a couple years just like they did with Rodgers behind favre so he gets experience with practice snaps. That's grooming you qb.
The 'ol Dennis Green "drive the bus".
The only scenario I see that has the Vikings trading up or staying and picking is if a high caliber player slides. Carter, maybe a WR or CB that they have ranked towards the top of their big board. Otherwise, the smart play this year is to trade down. Some where around the end of the first or the top of the second to grab more draft capitol. Any other year with 8-10 picks, we could move around more if we saw it fit.
Write this down! The Vikings will trade back with Seattle, Chicago, Detroit, or Houston. They may trade back a second time as well! Kwesi please don't draft a Quarterback to day three. They may pull a Spielman move and acquire multiple 7th round draft picks to get the college free agents they want.
I think it was the packers drafting love that lite a fire under Rodgers and rejuvenated his career more so then the coach. Check the record.
U have moved too far in the direction of replace Kirk at all cost? You don’t say?!
I don't think I've ever hated a player on this team more than Ponder. He doesnt deserve it but I blame him for AP not breaking the record in 2012.
Dont reach in fact trade Kirk and Dalvin for more picks and draft interior OLine. I am telling you we dont have enough depth at that position. Obviously need to address D too. You only draft a QB if it is a perfect fit. If any doubt, draft a fat guard or tackle. Then you sign a journeyman QB and Mark Ingram, and you pound that rock ala 2008. Matty/Ingram can get you 300+ carries. This also has the effect of spelling your suspect D until you can get it fully rebuilt. If it works great! If it dont then we could be in line for a top 10 pick next year. Then you get the QB behind a stud line!
I just hope Kwesi got more sense than PD and medicracy loving fans. The Vikings always fall for the Opie dope! Picking the lame low producing QB that the media subliminally plant in Vikings fans heads. Cousins, Lance, Hooker, any of these Mediocre QB’s are just losers. The very people pushing these Mock will laugh at you guys after you get stuck with these losers! Judd almost have it right except WE DON’T NEED A QB THIS YEAR” period !it’s not a joke stop this stupid QB mocking, before you start to believe your on BS! Vikings Fans should be patient and wait for Kwesi and Occonell after all that’s what came here to do! We don’t need no more losers
I love it…..not! “The Vikings defense ranked 31st” and he has Vikings draft a QB for a position that doesn’t need improvement. So lame!
21:43 one thing that I would note is that we shouldn’t be scared like some viks fans say if we shoot our shot for our franchise QB, I agree with y’all to trust KOC and Kwesi to find their guy. But if they wait and find a bridge qb that perfectly fine to cause there is “success” with that plan. But that also isn’t a formula to win most of the time. I don’t want that to continue to be a normality for us also
You guys are definitely higher on kwesi than I am. Im legitimately worried he is going drop the ball again. I thought last years draft was terrible the day after it was over and one year later still looks that way. Hope for the best is all we can do here but still not expecting a lot from what I saw last year.
Kwesi and KOC did a great job of saying nothing in their last presser when the only thing that anybody wanted to hear was that Donatell was fired.
These guys talking out of both sides of their mouth…They won't shut up about superbowl before I die…Now Phil is ok with a bridge QB…Tell me again last time a bridge QB won a bowl…They also bring up old days when non elite QBs could win it, all while ignoring that is was a rb league than and its not anymore
Well the learning curve is greater than any other position, so if it is Cousins last year then someone should be behind him to get some kind of idea of what the plays are.
Hendon Hooker is trash. He has two first round receivers. Jalin Hyatt is the real star there. People that think they're smart outsmartting themselves by convincing themselves Hyatt is a one trick pony. Legit deep threat.
There is no 'Value' In Hendon Hooker. He can't play next level.
How does Declan not have a mouse? laptop pad….those are so annoying but to each his own. Or unless he is a villain and just uses keyboard shortcuts…Hmmmm, Interesting. Love the show!!! I have been on the screen with my comments of VentLine, I love you guys! I Can't wait for the season to start and the first VentLine!! SKOL! I get meh about the draft. It is a gamble and alot of hype but when the season starts it really won't matter unless those drafts actually contribute in pre season or something. I am excited to see if Cine will be used in the pre season if he is ready to play, and how much playing time Nailor gets. He showed splash.🤓
It's a little annoying to me that Hendon Hooker keeps getting Mocked to us. I'm fine w/getting him as a steal in the 4th Round, but to suggest we use our one premium pick on him…..ridiculous. If we take a QB, I would assume our new Leadership is smart enough to know it needs to be a trade up for one of the 3 Premium QB Prospects.
You forgot John David Booty
Sorry that was 08
LOL should have just titled this episode "We Hate Hendon". If the Vikings draft him you will automatically call it a reach even if they traded down first. But you'll be just fine with trading up for Levis with no pocket awareness and an alleged attitude problem. As for Hooker's age, Kirk didn't start a game until he was 26 either.
F' surly juuuùuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudd u hear me juuuùuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudd surly sucks balls juuuùuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudd!!!! U fool!!!
If we're going to give it all lets wait for one of the great ones, this year feels forced
These guys make too much of the Christian Ponder pick. It was a reach, and a bad one, but it's not like it scarred fans or the team forever beyond 2014. Let it go, guys.
I would definitely say calming down is smart. We have Kirk right now so we don’t have to reach on a QB, it would be a shame to waste that. Also the 2024 QBs(and the entire draft class) also are pretty good so maybe we don’t want to use a lot of our future draft picks.
the future of the franchise in Hooker's hands.. not sure how i feel about this
I’m starting to buy into Hooker. You could look at it like the Vikings could be getting a steal big picture. Say he never gets hurt, Tennessee plays for a championship and Hooker wins the Heisman. We are probably not debating whether to take him at 23, and he may be going top 10.
Listen Hendon Hooker throws a beautiful deep ball and he's super smart. I like taking him but in the 35-50 range if they want Hendon they need to try and move back. I don't think they should be looking QB where they are unless it falls in your lap. WR 2 CB LB DLine are the four positions I want with 5 picks
There's an assumption here that Hooker is a "reach." It's nonsense. If Kwesi and KOC deem him worthy, I think that's enough. This isn't Ricky and Michael. Just let the process play out.
Anyone thinking the Vikes could draft Hooker in the 3rd round is absolutely delusional. If Hooker hadn’t been injured near the end of the season he would have been a top 5 pick.
Ponder, Jackson, Stanley and Mond say hi Vikes! Take the qb in the first round. Don’t wait for 2024 because Williams and Maye go 1-2 and nobody else goes in the 1st or 2nd round.
Bridge QBs don't win Super Bowls I'd rather swing and miss big
Why do they keep talking about Hooker he’s Broken COME ON MAN
