Kirk Morrison: Why the Vikings Should Move Up to Draft a Quarterback | The Rich Eisen Show

If I was the Pats GM. I would take Marvin Harrisson jr. This will cause a run on WR getting taken. Cards, Bolts, maybe Giants. Vikes, Broncos take May and Mcarthy. Penix or Nix get taken by the Raiders... you have the 34th pick. You will have a high probability of getting both. You pick a QB first... you miss the point. There is better value with Harrison, than with any other QB not named Caleb, or Jayden.

Move up for the 2nd pick if not stay at 11 and 23. Get a QB that sits for a year and a starter at the defensive line or cornerback. The team has 100+ million cap space to build out team next year or Go get Justin Herbert lol

How can anyone still not see what the Vikings are doing?

Vikings building a lowkey squad

When are the Vikings going to start looking for cornerbacks in free agency? That's been a major weakness of ours for a long time and it would be nice to get some starts in there that can lock someone down

Pats are not getting 3 1st round picks. They'll take 11, 23 and give the Vikings a 3rd pick and LIKE IT!

How do you not know the plan? Its as obvious as it can be. Get rid of Kirks massive cap hit, reallocate that money into the defense. Draft a rookie QB coming into one of the best offenses in the league for a rookie to be in and hopefully have a well enough rounded defense in a few years with the money saved from Kirks contract. Not hard to understand.

JJ McCarthy not Maye

This dude needs his own show... he's awesome!

The vikings are the only team at this time to give up 2 first round pick to move up at number 3. For the Pats getting pick 11 & pick 23 is enough to do the trade. Pick 3 is not worth 4 picks to give up. If the pats don't take then i would trade to the chargers and if McCarthy is there i would take the pick.

You keep saying New England has a bad roster no they had a bad offensive coaching staff n bad personnel. Their D is like that

Could bo nix fall to 11? 😂

Bruh we didn't lose Kirk Cousins, we were never gonna pay him more than a high end bridge ($18M a year, 2 max, $25M guaranteed)

Bo Nix? lol any GM drafting Bo Nix in the first round should be fired

Watch Minnesota trade up to 3 to get Harrison, then trade Jefferson for more picks and the #4 spot to get a QB

Interesting situation. The Vikings could move up with basically three firsts. The question becomes who would fall to the Vikings at 11? If the Vikings feel their guy would be gone by then, they will trade up and pay the price. Niners did it a couple of years ago and drafted Trey Lance. Look at how that worked out. Vikings should be able to get JJ, Nix, or Penix at 11. If I was the Chargers, I would trade back for two firsts.

Kwesi was in SF when they moved up for Trey Lance. I just don't see him making that mistake, maybe just take the QB that falls too #11?

So I worked at ESPN before and now I work for another company that covers sports. I can say this is them doing all talk. Because in reality they know what everyone genuine with sports knowledge snows. Do you take the shot on the quarterback, because if they work out you're good everything else settles in after.

DO NOT TRADE UP, it’s been proven that it almost never works out, Ej Manuel,Lance, Zach Wilson just to name a few…

Vikings gunna trade for Herbert

Harbaugh gets McCarthy and trades Herbert to the Vikings for their 2 first round picks.

Pats will trade down and take Micheal pinnex at 11

I hope the Patriots trade it and get a King's ransom

Nix and Lennox shouldn’t even be in consideration at all

Duh

Why isn’t Justin Fields going to New England?

Please not Drake Maye.

Three 1’s+ more to get to 3?!? GET OUT

You can have as many picks as you want ACCEPT 2025 first. We need insurance. Not going to be the panthers.

Love Kirk Morrison as guest host

Who knew Kirk Morrison was made for TV?

They have an opportunity to trade up and waste a pick 😂

I would aim for pick #5 because McCarthy or Nix would be available there and likely not cost 3 first round picks.

Come on. Darnold was the 'Just in case' option the moment they signed him. If things go well he's a decent back up, if they go badly he's a decent back up.

Kirk & TJ need a podcast together. Two very likable guys who would bring in just as many viewers as Rich.

Close your eyes…which voice is Kirk’s and which is TJs?

Seems more likely that the Chargers trade down with the Vikings since they have Herbert. Also some reports have the Giants taking a QB, so the Vikings can leap frog the Giants and take their guy.

No way New England trades it for anything less than 3 firsts plus more Vikings fans are dreaming if they think it only costs 2 firsts

11 isn't high enough to make it worth it IMO. They'll be looking at WR scraps, which is not what they need

“Every year I pick a favorite team”…

Yeah I’m sorry man, you lost me there.

They are…they are jumping a head of the Giants. I bet they draft JJ. The Patriots are not trading from 3 to 11 because they also need a quarterback.

The Vikings most likely nosed around this past month and talked with potential trade partners to get a picture of what it would take to move up. I am guessing that at least one potential partner in the top 4 or 5 picks said two first rounders this year to make the deal.

please ALWAYS make this guy the fill in for Rich. He's so much more enjoyable than all the other subs they bring in.

All the media want to happen is 4+ QBs taken in the 1st round so they have their storylines for the next 4yrs. And if a QB slides down the board, again, the media will scrutinise. The NFL is scripted. They are begging for their overhyped love child Caleb Williams to go #1 so they can be ruthless on the Bears

11 and 23 isn't enough to get 3rd pick.

Putting a QB behind a bad offensive line with mediocre weapons to throw to is the surest way to ruin a young QB. Some QBs are able to maintain their confidence but many never regain it e.g. Mac Jones.

Here is the PROBLEM with this years draft . If all of the top 4 teams stay put in there order & the Chargers do NOT trade with the Broncos or Raiders , who need a QB . The Giants at NO # 6 , still do need a QB ! So that could still be 4 teams taken a QB before the 11th draft pick ? And still have the problem of the Broncos or Raiders trading into the 7 - 10 draft picks area ?

‪God bless! Jesus is the way and saves! Psalms 62✝🤍💪 Jeremiah 29:11 ✝🤍💪‬

NE can take Bo Nix or another at 11 or wait until next year if they are near the top of round 1 next year.

“We need a quarterback too” bruther you need a LOT more than that. Drafting a QB into that team would be Bryce love level of sabotage
