In trading up for J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner, the #Vikings swung for the fences. My story on last night's remarkable haul, the aggressive approach, and the risk involved: si.com/nfl/vikings/ne…
J.J. McCarthy, while speaking on Zoom with media members just now, had to decline a call from Wayne Gretzky. McCarthy was a big-time hockey player growing up. His marketing agent is apparently close with Gretzky.
J.J. McCarthy: "Every QB in the class that I interacted with wanted to go to Minnesota."
#Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah: "Obviously, I'm a spreadsheet, calculator guy myself, but sometimes you gotta step out from there, take your Clark Kent glasses off, and just have a championship mindset and swing for a great player."
Kevin O’Connell is excited about getting J.J. McCarthy and says Dallas Turner has the skills to be “a dominant player on the edge for us.” “We’re off to a very, very good start.”
The Vikings gave up a lot to get the two players they picked tonight. Two second-rounders (to get 23), a third-rounder, two fourth-rounders, and two fifth-rounders to get up to 10 and 17. But also...they got J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner.
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah says he “can’t believe” the Vikings got both JJ McCarthy and Dallas Turner tonight. He’s over the moon to be adding two “cornerstone” players to the roster.
In an era where many prospects are entering the NFL after five or six years of college, the Vikings have drafted two true juniors with their first-round picks tonight. J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner both turned 21 earlier this year.
For the first time since 2005, the Vikings have drafted an edge rusher in the first two rounds. Dallas Turner had 11 sacks and 15.5 total TFL last year for Alabama, earning consensus All-American honors. Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel, and Turner off the edge...whew.
The Vikings traded up and are taking Alabama EDGE Dallas Turner with the 17th pick. Lots of analysts had him as the top pass rusher in this draft. J.J. McCarthy and Dallas Turner is quite the haul.
#Vikings are on the clock at 17! They gave up a 2024 fifth, a 2025 third, and a 2025 fourth to move up six spots. Two trades up the board for Kwesi.
The Falcons called Kirk Cousins when they were on the clock to let him know. From what I learned, Cousins understood a QB would be considered but he did not believe his successor would be taken in the first round. I’m told he’s a bit stunned.
Six quarterbacks in the first 12 picks is WILD Imagine being the Raiders with the 13th pick and missing out on all of the QBs
J.J. McCarthy is the Vikings’ quarterback of the future. Now Minnesota needs to extend Justin Jefferson and lock in the JJ-to-JJ connection for what could be the next decade if everything pans out.
Getting J.J. McCarthy at 10 feels like a major win for the Vikings. He's a great fit for Kevin O'Connell's offense, and they didn't have to give up much to get him. I wouldn't be surprised if Kwesi now trades down a bit from 23 to get some draft capital back. We'll see.
After trading up one spot, the #Vikings are selecting Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy with the 10th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. They got their guy. The future is here. si.com/nfl/vikings/ne…
Trade! Minnesota on the clock at 10

11 years ago today, the Vikings drafted Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes, and Cordarrelle Patterson in the first round. I'll always vividly remember that day because I was holding my newborn daughter that made me a dad. I hope I get to celebrate a QBOTF with my 11 year old tonight!
This Micah Parsons and C.J. Stroud football debate 🤯 Perfect offense vs. perfect defense. Who wins?
Bark in the Park, redux: It’s 10:26 p.m., the game has been over for more than an hour, and Joe Ryan is alone on the field hitting fungoes to his dog.
So great for Naz. What a story
@WillRagatz This is great. Was going to try to write up best and worst case scenario for casual fan family. But just sent them this. 10/10
As Adam Schefter notes here, New England knows the best (and final) offer from the Vikings and the Giants won't hit until they are on the clock at No. 3 Deadline
Jaden McDaniels watched the Wolves fight against Denver in last year’s playoffs with a pit in his stomach. “I was sick watching them play,” he said. The shame he felt then birthed the triumph of Tuesday night. He is making up for lost time. theathletic.com/5440372/2024/0…

Since 1992, Minnesota's MLB, NBA and NHL franchises have combined for 43 playoff series. They've been up 2-0 in just four of those. 1992: North Stars-Red Wings, Norris semis 2004: Wolves-Nuggets, first round 2023: Twins-Blue Jays, AL WC 2024: Wolves-Suns, first round
