Big night ahead for a lot of QB needy teams. Who takes McCarthy and where is going to have a big ripple effect on the rest of the first round. As a Vikings fan I can’t remember feeling this nervous ahead of a draft, but my optimism about trading up to 3 to take Maye is waning. I still think a trade back is the smart play by the Pats though - that roster needs other pieces otherwise I can see a rookie QB going there and having no chance to succeed in Year 1, a la Bryce Young in Carolina.

Could feasibly be 6 QB's taken by 13 (us).

Unfortunately Vikings well positioned to trump whatever offer we can make to jump up should a Daniels or Maye fall but clearly the dream for the Raiders would be Daniels reuniting with Antonio Pierce.

Interesting to see what we do with the 9th pick, ideally we need to trade back and get a couple more picks as we only have 4 picks overall.

But if some of the top WRs are still available I wouldn’t be surprised if we took one.
