Justin Jefferson post game

[Dr.Sack]

Justin Jefferson for a 2027 1st round pick seems fair given is age and the fact Minnesota is 2-3 years to field a competitive team.

Agree. Minny fumbled the bag big time here. Darnold is a top tier QB in this league. Did they really think they had something better with JJ? They should’ve resigned Darnold and traded JJ.

Exactly 💯. And only like 100 mil? Why not just keep em both? Darnold proved him self got that team to 14 wins and they just kicked him to the curb? F#cking stupid franchise

Think you don’t get him for anything less than a first and a second if not two 1’s. He’s still relatively young and on a reasonable deal for where that position $ is headed to give a #1 guy of his quality.

Please make this happen this offseason.  1st this year, 2nd next, and your choice of any offensive player not named Josh or James.

It was insane they didn’t try and keep Darnold IMO.  I get it if someone out bids them, but they didn’t even try and banked on an unproven rookie coming off injury with no contingency.  

They did try.

[BuffaloRebound]

Doubt they’d ever trade Jefferson.  They’ll sign a Mac Jones type QB in the off-season.  Could see them move Addison for a 1st as they probably aren’t interested in paying 2 WR’s $35m+ per year.  

[dcinmuncie]

So he’d be doing wr screens and jet sweeps, right?

[Gregg]

Even if the Vikings were to trade him does Buffalo's salary cap situation make it possible for the Bills to get him.

I would rather see us go hard after a receiver in the draft. Move up to get the guy they want and have a more cap friendly deal locked in. There will be more than a couple really good wideouts available. No sense blowing up our cap anymore than it already is.

What’s sad is when you’ve drafted so poorly that you have to go out and mortgage your future trading for a star player like JJ.  You pay a massive premium in terms of both draft picks and salary…

Hilarious because he was previously singing the praises of the back up QB who played today; who’s name I do not know, which will likely only be remembered for the wild pick 6 he threw. 

 

Is that QB a Ichigan trash can? I don't even know.

If he were to come available (highly unlikely), you move heaven and earth to get him for Josh. Any picks, any players (other than Josh). 

 

 

 

.........we could have had him for 4-5 years on a rookie deal, but our FO didn't see the value in him back then, so i really don't think they'll back up the Brinks truck to get him in here now.

JJ McCarthy has shown absolutely nothing. I know it's pretty much his rookie year but the ones who have it at least show glimpses. I don't think he does. 

 

Game reminds me too much of Zach Wilson that its hard to see him being successful.

To be fair... the trade was not executed during the draft.  They traded for diggs before the draft, not knowing who would be available at the pick.  So to say they didn't see value in a player they didn't know would be available in their draft slot is a bit of a stretch.
