So, fifth best QB in franchise history? I feel like that's going to be the consensus.

For DK they wanted a 1 and 3. Now they have their 3. Who is the target in the 3rd.....

Apparently talks with the Raiders began with JS offering both Geno AND DK for Crosby. Vegas said no. And here we are.

I was a HUGE advocate for us going after Crosby.

for those saying there is zero proof that DK and Geno had issues here is Gee who’s connected with the players. The Geno fandom causes people to be close minded at times.

I read that and it’s not anyone saying it’s him or it’s me. They could coexist. In both cases it’s really all about the money. I truly think DK knew something was coming with Geno since JS and Geno spoke last week and we heard nothing.

I keep hearing 92 but 92 is the jets pick. 73 was the jets pick that the raiders.

I don't know. Tankathon is now listing us with 92 also and it shows it originally from DET.

Dart or that Shough kid.

I’m not putting $$ on it though 😂
Unfortunately, my bet is on Dart gone in the first and Shough probably no later than 2nd. Some draft "experts" even have Dart higher than Sanders.

Could very well be true too. Just seems weird that DK is more likely to stay now

I've got one word to say to you: Mariners.
Yeah I disagree with maelstrom completely. There is no guarantee Feno after three years of getting worse was going to instead at 35 drastically play better and if you pay him the 45 he wants you’re handcuffed in fixing some of your issues

I also just hate when we “they better or we revolt” comments because it seems like people are almost rooting for failure.

It could fail drastically but the process is still right. You have post season success by taking chances and not being the Seattle Mariners. Why anyone would want a Mariner safe approach when we can’t win a playoff game is wild to me

I'd prefer Ewers to Dart. Dart is going to need an eternity before he's anywhere near the realm of ready to lead a team with expectations. It's crazy to me how overrated that guy has become. I'll bet if his name was Jaxson Smith, he'd be considered a fifth-round prospect.

Dismissing a whole season of dominance over 2 games is pretty unfair, even acknowledging that big games are important

A better criticism is wondering how much the Vikings ultra talented roster contributed to his resurgence.

It's hard to say. It's why his market is lukewarm.

I agree, but it also seems pretty unfair to dismiss a 6 year sample size where he was mostly pretty awful in favor of a 1 year sample size where he played really well when he was surrounded by an ultra talented roster.

There's an entire off-season ahead of us, but at the moment we're coming off of a season where we had a bottom 5 OLine, bottom 5 rushing game, and an absolutely terrible OC. If they trade DK, we will have 1 good receiving option (and we all know any decent NFL DC will have a field day if they're facing a team with only 1 good receiving option).

Based on his 7 year history in the NFL, I think it's much more likely that we would get something closer to his first 6 years in the league than his 1 good year. The situation in Seattle is much more difficult for a QB than the situation he had in Minny last season.
