Minnesota Trade to Obtain 23rd Overall Pick

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Surprised Houston did that trade now and not during the draft to drive up pricing

Unless Vikings trying to pull a Philly and move up higher in the draft now for a QB by acquiring multiple firsts.

That’s exactly what they’re doing. LA chargers are at 5 and probably would prefer the multiple 1sts. This would allow Minnesota to leapfrog Las Vegas, the Giants, as well as block anyone else from moving up

To me it means they lost Cousins and this gives them 2 1sts to dangle to maybe get in play for a rookie QB. Overall I like seeing teams be proactive

 

[jwitten82]

Seems like Minnesota got the better of that deal. Why wouldn't Houston just keep the first?

What I've heard is that the Vikings are looking to trade up with Arizona or possibly to pick #5 to get a QB.

That seems like a bad deal for Houston….

Only a 2nd and a 6th pick to move up that far?

 

[CowboyoWales]

Patriots have the #3 pick. 11th and 23rd combine could get them the QB at #3 if the Patriots are willing.

Good point, and Pat's are too far away to sign a QB, get two first round in 2024....and will still have a high puck in 2025.

Just in front of Dallas:


I'm suspicious. What does this mean for the Cowboys? Is there a player we want that they want too?

Reminds me of when Philly jumped us and snagged Dallas Goeddard.

Lol, it’s obvious they’re targeting who they feel is the best available QB left and chances are fair they may even use this pick and the 11th to move up farther if the QB they like falls out of 5th 6th but hey, they’re actively trying to steal who we’re targeting 6 weeks before the draft. Even sillier when you consider they’re looking at a sub 6 win season but they’re trying to foil our plans!!!

Don't spot block me, bro.

11 and 23 alone gets them to #4 and with AZ not needing a QB (arguable) it makes a ton of sense. Just a matter of what New England does at #3 because I can’t see trading up for the 4th best QB in this class.

this is exactly what i think is going on. minn keeping flexibility to get their next franchise qb.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Why do fans think when a team trades ahead of us they want a player we wanted.

Great question.

Patriots have the #3 pick. 11th and 23rd combine could get them the QB at #3 if the Patriots are willing.

I would think that the draft value chart would indicate that it would cost a little more to move that far up.

if you click on it, it also includes hou getting another 2nd rounder next year

2024 2nd, 6th and 2025 2nd
for 2024 #23 and 7th

This will be interesting to see how this plays out. Because I think the first 3 picks are going to be QBs. Both Arizona and L.A. are eying WR Harrison. I think the Chargers don't trade with the Vikings unless Arizona refuses them. If AZ stays put, then the Chargers probably trade their pick.

Yep, it’s about ammo, not just the 23rd pick, because that would be foolish not even knowing who is available at that point now.

 

[Risen Star]

That's an odd trade for the Texans to make now. You can very likely get more for the pick during the draft.

760 plus 1250 2010 is less than the 2200.
Depends if the Patriots take like a couple of 4th picks too or are dead set on trading down or not.

It’s leading to another trade up for a QB
