OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XII - Heeeeeeressss JJ! (Percy Harvin Edition)

[Spirits]

Justin Fields too!!

Bust.

I’ve got:
Williams
Maye
McCarthy
Daniels
Penix Jr
Nix

I’d give Penix a legit shot. That dude was absolutely nasty at throwing the ball.

Williams has bust written all over him, mental game is weak.

Daniels is a huge question mark that I wouldn't want and Penix will struggle in the NFL. If we are going to draft any of Daniels, Penix or Nix I would just as soon put the eggs into Darnold and bolster the defense. I'm not selling two draft classes for any of those guys. Maye or McCarthy or just BPA.

You wouldn’t have to sell anything for Penix. He will be there at 23. I think that is one of the contingency plans in place.

I’m a packers fan, but if the vikings get McCarthy I’ll be tuning into their games. McCarthy and Jones are worth watching

They might not play together.

Jones is on a 1 year and McCarthy might sit for a year.

Dislike. Unsubscribe.

Twins come back late to win it. Buxton made some clutch hits. Correa with a nice tag at second.

Also, sorry to those that may have liked Bremer, but it is so nice to not have to hear him anymore. That is all.

Baseball players are so f***ing fragile.

Lewis might miss a month because he can't round 2nd like an adult.

Brooks Lee is out with back spasms for a few weeks (every top prospect we get is always injured - Buxton, Lewis, Kiriloff, etc.). If Buxton and Correa play over 110 games, and Lee or Jenkins make it through the season healthy (after Lee's early DL time), I'll eat my hat.

I'd just rather put the eggs into Darnold's basket at that point and draft defense.

Same thing as putting the eggs into the Fields basket. You do you.

The question that I think people are missing with Penix is he's also a left handed QB, which means you need a good RT, which Minnesota doesn't have (roll-outs are different). As well, Penix's injury history is such a massive red-flag.

Brian O'Neill isn't a good RT? That's news to me. PFF has him 8th among tackles, not Right Tackles, but all tackles.

Yeah, one of the benefits people saying about a young QB coming here is top bookend tackles.

Darrisaw was better, also don't know where you are seeing him as the 8th best tackle as they graded him a 74.5 and there were like a dozen better than him:

Highest-graded offensive tackles from the 2023 NFL season: Detroit Lions' Penei Sewell takes the top spot

Detroit Lions tackle Penei Sewell led offensive tackles in PFF grade in 2023, followed by the 49ers' Trent Williams.

He also has had two injuries to his leg so far; ACL and ankle, though they said it was a foot fracture later, so who knows if it is 2 or 3 injuries.

Penix's injury history combined with his performance in big games are definitely red flags for me. Not so much for our tackles.

He definitely will need to sit a season so that O'Connell and group can get the entire team to switch and get comfortable.

I think there is an argument that can be made that the Vikings should sit any QB they draft for their first season

Injuries and such happen.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Y’all should rank Maye, Daniels, McCarthy, Penix Jr, and Nix by who you would pick as the MN GM.

That order, though my trade up appetite stops at Daniels.

 

[MuckOG]

Injuries and such happen.

They do....and in that case or if Darnold completely craps the bed, I would start the rookie. But the plan to start the season would be to sit them.

Y’all should rank Maye, Daniels, McCarthy, Penix Jr, and Nix by who you would pick as the MN GM.

My QB ranking:

Daniels
Williams
Maye
McCarthy
Nix
Penix

From here: Sports Illustrated

When you look at only tackles, Darrisaw is No. 1 and O'Neill is No. 8. Cleveland is ninth among all guards, and Bradbury is ninth among all centers. In other words, the Vikings have four top-10 players on the offensive line.

That was 2023.

Also, I'm with Muck with the ranking.

 

[Sad People]

Man Angel Reese is so good. Its a hot take but i dont even think shes their best player either.

 

[Sad People]

Flau'jae Johnson is so good. Shes only a sophmore too, only going to get better.

 

[Sad People]

Seems like game. LSU went cold then Caitlin Clark did Caitlin Clark things.
