To a certain extent, what is being implied is that while QBs are the most premium of positions (nobody is trading for or getting Mahomes in FA) some other positions (LT, stud DTs) have more premium than the market has given them and that factors into the trade pricing.

SF was built on 5-7 studs and the rest interchangeable guys (all decent, but not like the true stars)..

The great Tony Stark once said, “I can’t do the equation unless I have all the variables.”

Who are the absolute stick and pick players for the Vikings and are they available when the Vikings are on the clock? Are there half a dozen very attractive players you could still get in moving down 5-10 spots? Everyone says this is a weird year for the draft so I wonder if some of the normal data Matthew cites is as relevant?

For me the stick and pick at 24 are Grant, Zabel, and Banks, but if they’re gone and Kwesi can pull off some Jui jitsu and get 2 of these players in the second, G Donovan Jackson, CBs DL Alexander or Collins, CBs Amos or Thomas that would be amazing, wouldn’t it?

In the end I have my favorite players like most of us do, but even if I don’t love the idea of Starks or Emmanwori, or Booker, or Nolen, or Barron or Revel or Morrison for a variety pack of reasons… all I really hope is that whoever they pick is good to great. Given the hit and miss nature of the draft maybe this year gives us several hits—it's time for the anti-2022 draft.
