Which QB Do the Vikings Draft Next Month?

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

  • No discussion of politics or religion
  • No feeding of the trolls
  • Leave the gender hatred at the door
  • Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
  • Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
  • No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
  • If you can’t disagree in a civil manner,...

Which QB Do the Vikings Draft Next Month?

And will they trade up to draft him?

It’s inside a month until the NFL Draft, and as always, where the top quarterbacks will go is, as always, a hot topic among fans, the media, and league circles.

The recent league meeting that ended today provided some new information and perhaps a bit more clarity regarding some team's intentions, but there is still a lot of uncertainty and misinformation going around as well.

So let’s try to separate fact from fiction and see where it leads when it comes to which quarterback the Vikings will draft next month.

In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision. - Dalai Lama

This offseason is very intriguing and entertaining. The trade with the Texans has made many fine folks believe it means the team is going to trade up again. The ideas floated out there are often a bit preposterous. Almost every trade involves both first round picks this year plus the first round pick next year (for 2 or 3) or a 3rd round pick next year (for 4, 5, or 6). Rarely do these ideas have another pick coming back to the Vikings...

Other developments from the NFL League Meetings

Some other interesting rules have come out today as well

Earlier today, we touched on the changes to the kickoff rules for the 2024 season that came out of the NFL League Meetings in Orlando. That wasn’t the only change that was passed today, so let’s do a quick rundown of some of the new rules and other things that could affect the Minnesota Vikings and the 31 other teams that aren’t nearly as important.

The first thing to talk about is that the league has once again changed the rule governing a team’s third quarterback. Now, the league has...

NFL to play doubleheader on Christmas Day again this year

NFL to play doubleheader on Christmas Day again this year

And, yes, Christmas is on a Wednesday

Over the past few seasons, the National Football League has played multiple games on Christmas Day. That’s worked out okay over the past couple of years because Christmas Day in 2022 fell on a Sunday while this past year it fell on a Monday. This year, Christmas Day is on a Wednesday. . .but that’s not stopping the NFL.

The league has announced that they will, in fact, be playing a Christmas Day doubleheader this year on Wednesday, 25 December.

This shouldn’t be as surprising as it is, given that the NFL knows...

And Kene Nwangwu’s job is saved

There are more rule changes coming from the National Football League at this week’s League Meetings in Orlando, but this is one we wanted to focus on with its own story.

After a few years of, seemingly, trying to do away with kickoff returns entirely, the league has adopted some new rules in an attempt to bring the play back and make it part of the game again.

The full list of changes is in this tweet/X from Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network:

All the moves in one place

It’s going to be an interesting free agency period for the Minnesota Vikings, and it gets underway on 11 March when the “legal tampering” period begins around the NFL.

The Vikings have two big names set to hit free agency in quarterback Kirk Cousins and edge defender Danielle Hunter. There have been any number of rumors about whether the team will keep either or both of them for the 2024 season. We’ll have our answers soon, as well as the answers to whatever other questions the Vikings try to solve in free agency this...

Greg Joseph to sign with Green Bay Packers

Okay, then

The Minnesota Vikings have lost another of their in-house free agents, and it now appears that they will definitely have a new kicker when the 2024 NFL season rolls around.

Numerous reports have surfaced that kicker Greg Joseph is signing with the Green Bay Packers.

Joseph has been the kicker for the Vikings since the 2021 season, and over the course of the past three years has converted 82.2% of his field goal attempts (83/101) and 90.3% of his extra points (112/124). He holds the record for most game-winning field goals for a Vikings kicker in a season...
