Explosive long arm by Dallas Turner
New Vikings edge rusher Dallas Turner was the biggest steal of the draft, per the ESPN NFL Draft Predictor, which factors in expert mock drafts, Scouts Inc. grades and team needs. There was a 3% chance Turner would be available at No. 17.
Try Dallas Turner out at WR tbh
With JJ McCarthy in the best supporting cast of any rookie QB... And Dallas Turner as the best pass rusher and defensive prospect on the consensus board... Decent shot #Vikings will be among the favorites to win both OROY and DROY
Total value lost from the Vikings 3 trade-ups is roughly equivalent to wasting an early first round pick on the analytics pick value charts
JJ McCarthy is the youngest QB in the 2024 draft and Dallas Turner is the second-youngest EDGE in the 2024 draft. Kwesi returning to his Andrew Berry roots?
Pros: Dallas Turner is a freak and perfect fit for Flores. Was ranked 9th on the consensus board at a premium position of need. Cons: Kwesi gave up two 2nds, a 3rd, a 4th and a 5th for him
Vikings trade up for Dallas Turner
Same offseason the Vikings let Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter walk, they move up twice to draft their replacements in JJ McCarthy and Dallas Turner
Vikings get: 🏈2024 1st-round pick (No. 17) Jaguars get: 🏈2024 1st-round pick (No. 23) 🏈2024 5th-round pick 🏈2025 3rd-round pick 🏈2025 4th-round pick
Vikings get: 🏈2024 1st-round pick (No. 17) Jaguars get: 🏈2024 1st-round pick (No. 23) 🏈2024 5th-round pick 🏈2025 3rd-round pick 🏈2025 4th-round pick
Trade: Vikings now have traded up to the Jaguars spot at No. 17.
Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy was my top fit for the #Vikings. Here's what I'm excited about: - His play-action efficiency - worked well under center and off boot game. Accurate on the move. - Improvisation and off-schedule skills - elusive, extends, re-directs WRs with signals,…
Kwesi holding strong and not moving up through those first nine picks to get the #Vikings QB of the future:
this is Minnesotan for "gonna go kms now"
that's four goals ya dingaling
"As the draft approaches, the current expectation is that the Vikings will stay put — and that Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy will be on the board when they’re on the clock. "Some have connected the Giants to McCarthy, too. That is believed to have been a smokescreen."

Kind of. The initial trade was for extra juice to get their QB. They received surprise extra value by drafting the QB at 11 instead of 3/4, so they pivoted to a consensus top 10 asset and sacrificed some grilled veggies to land the steak.
Pros: Dallas Turner is a freak and perfect fit for Flores. Was ranked 9th on the consensus board at a premium position of need. Cons: Kwesi gave up two 2nds, a 3rd, a 4th and a 5th for him
My greatest joy is to have an off-season where the #Vikings GM and HC no longer have to answer questions like this. 2024 is a year of bliss so far.

Explosive long arm by Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner rushing cutups. Tends to win with length, power, & speed. Has an okay spin move and chop. Imo he's better at getting hands off him than his reputation. Good at occupying space on stunts & working thru doubles Cutup focus is on his pass-rush style, not just results
Bill Belichick telling the Randy Moss trade story is electric television
Me trying to keep up on WR screens this year. #ChiefsKingdom
Spot on
No 2024 NFL Mock Draft ⛓️ for me. But here’s what I’m hearing… 1. CHI QB Caleb ☑️ 2. WASH QB Jayden ☑️ 3. NE plan: -HIGHLY LIKELY the Pats stick and pick Maye. -Would only move back if A. They get a HAUL to move back and B. They have a 2nd trade in place with AZ at 4 or LAC at…
It’s noteworthy that we have research suggesting that trade-ups don’t regularly outperform the next player drafted at their position *and also* that “steals” relative to big boards tend to perform closer to draft position than big board ranking
Appreciate the nuance I’m getting from Vikings fans in my mentions. Picking Turner 9 spots after his big board ranking is probably good! But using two 2nds, a 3rd, a 4th, a 5th, and a late pick swap to get him is probably not good. Hope this helps.
@reinhardNFL @Krumb15 So by your own metric the Vikings got a large value on the Turner pic. But also they got bad value?

“Offensive Linemen we look at as weapons. When we talk about attacking on offense… Offensive Line is the tip of the spear.” - Jim Harbaugh
Up next: Dallas Turner! He dropped off the line a bunch at Alabama and will have to do the same in Minnesota. I asked him about his comfort playing in space:
setting aside any context, i kinda love this quote
