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. 

[BBills83]

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.

Doubt ur getting a 1st for a WR with one cheap year left, who's never hit 1000 yards, and was suspended for a really bad DUI.  I'd say best case you're looking at the 3rd for pickens, but probably less.  And paying him closer to 20.

…I’m watching Justin Jefferson’s situation in Minnesota like a hawk! Give whatever they ask for in a trade… WHATEVER!😉🤣

[8BallSippin]

At this point, I'd leverage the future for a known superstar.  If it doesn't take us all the way, fine, at least we went all in and were serious.

 

Imagine the team that ran the ball for 250, with a field stretching gamechanger.  Everybody else on this offense would be instantly better for it.

Minnesota is doing to Justin Jefferson what we are doing to Josh Allen. Wasting their prime years. Minnesota doesn’t want to give Jefferson a real QB and Buffalo doesn’t want to give Allen a really WR. These GMs should be fired immediately! 

Heck, just mosey down to the star QB store and get him one!

If Stefanski can survive Cleveland this offseason I could see them trying to get Jefferson. Either to pair with Shadeur or a QB they can get in the first with their pick and then flip  Jacksonville's pick to get a veteran WR to pair with their young QB.

Every player is available in the draft, my friend, no matter the draft slot/position/pick...........every player is in play.

 

Our FO chose to make a trade and get Diggs (a proven commodity) and in essence gave up JJ (whom Minny chose as Diggs replacement).

 

Our FO could have packaged some picks to draft JJ if they thought he would be gone before their pick, but they know that they only hit on later rounds, so giving up that much asset is wasted on them........and i also believe that they don't know how to properly assess the WR position and i think that a pick like JJ would scare them which is why they would rather get scrub WR's as somewhat value instead of doing their homework.
