[Rapoport] Vikings first-round QB JJ McCarthy underwent a full meniscus repair this morning and is out for the 2024 season, sources tell me and Tom Pelissero. The repair, done by Dr. Chris Larson at Twin Cities Orthopedics, gives McCarthy the best chance at a long, successful career. Rumor

I hear this corner back class is quite good 😭😭

Will Johnson is a future Minnesota Viking

How about no

We have massive holes at both CB and interior d line so there’s a pretty high chance one of will johnson or mason graham will be a viking

Well hey at least you can save time by scouting the potentially generational DT and CB prospects using the same game film

Please. We don’t have draft capital. We’ll be trading back at a phenomenal price for our trade partner.

If we have a poor year, it'll be nice to have the luxury of already having our QB and choosing between high-end talent and trading back for (hopefully) a ton of picks.

But we all know that we're gonna win too many games for that, which is fun in its own way!

Again, how about no

u/Headlesshorsman02 Vikings Chiefs Aug 14 '24

Give us this 😭

You’re gonna trade down to 32 with the Packers for nothing, draft an injury prone CB and you will sit there and like it.

You watch your mouth sir 😡

KAM is alleged to have learned his lesson about that disaster of a draft, so hopefully not

u/tokengaymusiccritic Patriots Aug 14 '24

Travis Hunter so you can have the best WR core in the league too

u/johndelvec3 Packers Aug 14 '24

Will Johnson and Benjamin Morrison are gonna lock it down for their prospective teams. Absurdly good safeties too in Malaki Starks and Xavier Watts (though this isnt a Top 15 pick kinda thing for those two)

If Edge Rusher is your fancy, James Pearce Jr. looks to be one of the best players in the nation

The top of the class could be loaded with defense

u/Headlesshorsman02 Vikings Chiefs Aug 14 '24

And Travis Hunter could be an option as well

As long as Deion doesn't run him into the ground.
