Timberwolves. Vikings draft and way they are looking in 2024. What a time to be a Minnesota sports fan.
I mean we can hope the vikes are good. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I see most people acting like we bout to be a dynasty
@@wolfwang8464... But what if?...
Minnesota ruins the cheifs 3peat????
Let’s Go… Mavs…. 😂… Good luck..!! From a Los Angeles Lakers Fan.
@@donowen5889to I have pg😅ea eat everything okay with a Izg😮fbrr
Damn Levis energy is contagious as hell. I could see him ballin. A steal.
I’m not a Vikings fan at all but it’s so crazy to me how much JJ is getting slandered by all the media and then questioning if he’s good for the pros or not.. last I checked he’s undefeated and beat everyone in the draft to win in the national championship. Caleb Williams didn’t sniff a playoff, drake maye didn’t, Jayden Daniels didn’t either and the rest of them except Michael Penix jr. I’m rooting for JJ cause he came from harbaugh and I love Jim. I won’t be surprised if JJ catches fire this year and makes the Vikings be a dark horse team.
@@jaxsontuttle4932McCarthy was on a loaded team, Caleb wasn’t. I don’t think McCarthy should get all the slandered but I also think he is going to be a bust
Kwesi clearly in control of this roster building. Glad to see it.
And dang, they wanted Rouse, a kicker, and Jurgens all along. He must’ve had some insider info.
It sure looks like they had specific targets at different parts of the draft, and made a few gambles - going Reichard and gambling that Jurgens would get to 230.
Yes... video shows them calling names way in advance
really? they sold the farm to get Turner. It makes no sense for a team in rebuild mode.
Kwesi could learn a lot from Brad Holmes
@@markfein462 Did they now?
1. The gave up pick 42, and next years 2nd, 3rd and 4th to get a player that was widely graded as a top 10 pick.
How many teams do you think would trade pick 10 for 42, 50, 82 and 114?
(1300 vs 1126 in the Jimmy Johnson chart)
2. The rebuild is basically finished. Only about 10 players from the 2021 (i.e. Spielman/Zimmer) 90 man roster are still there. Remember, an inferior version of this roster went 13-4 in 2022. Folks seem to bee underestimating this team solely because Cousins left. Cousins wasn't that good, and Darnold could easily thrive in this offence.
3. Getting Turner now means that he can have his development season in parallel (rather than in sequence) with McCarthy and be a full go in 2025, instead of finding his feet next season.
@markfein462 sold the farm?... 😆 🤣... you have no clue... edge rushers are a premium besides the QB position...and I guess now the Wr with the turn of the market... before JJ's contact Bosa and almost any edge rusher gets top dollar... they got a top 10 defensive player at 17(top player on 75% of the NFL boards)... to put things in perspective for you... if Turner came out next yr and balls... he'd easily be a top 5 pick with no offensive run like this yr...and to trade for him would easily cost a team probably 2 1st and a couple of mid round picks to move up... they stole Turner for the simple fact of timing(the run on offensive players)... the move was made cause it wasn't about the pick... it was about the position player... if Turner was gone the move wouldn't have been made... easy decision... potential superstar young player for capital on guys that have a 50% chance on even making the team... 😆 🤣... dude you lost
It's so refreshing to have a gm that is willing to trade UP and take a chance. I used to dread the draft when spielman had the reigns always trading down.
Spielman damn near missed out on Darrisaw by trading back so much, that should have been a massive mistake but he got lucky
I think after that first draft Kwesi & co. learned a lot and was willing to get aggressive in order to get their guy. They gave up a decent amount of draft capital to get Dallas especially, but not getting too reckless and still keeping that first rounder next year.
@@kameronerdman5870 I agree Spielman traded down too much, but he cooked by getting Darrisaw and extra picks
And he still got every single fucking player he wanted. Didn't need those picks
@@MrNightmarekill the extra picks he got in that draft did not turn out well. I believe it was Kellen mond and some guard who turned out to be a bum
Man I really hope LDR works out. What a fantastic attitude. Just makes you smile listening to his enthusiasm.
These behind the scenes videos are so awesome thank you Vikings for putting this together
Never clicked on a video so fast
Right their with ya!
It just feels so good! SKOL🙏🏾
I ran here. Been waiting on this one.
Awesome video... the one I've been waiting for
Glazing
I’m 53, been watching for real since 87, to young to remember the 70s I have NEVER been so Fn stoked!!!!! SkOL!!!
54 here... became a true fan after they drafted Moss... also liked watching film on Fran and The Purple People Eaters... 😆 🤣... I'm stoked too...Skol!
Yea people need to let him do his thing & not constantly compare him to other QBs in this historically great draft class. I think he’ll bring the Vikings a lot of success. I think he’ll end up being at minimum the 3rd best QB in this class. JJ is better than Maye & Penix.
Don’t care what you think about JJ. The dude WANTS to be a Viking. To me, that will elevate him and the rest of the players more than talent.
I love the little nuggets of info you can glean:
1. They were sweating possible trades of other teams to 8 or 9
2. they didn't think as highly of Laitu Latu vs. Dallas Turner
3. Kwesi was going to try and trade back for more picks on Day 3 but it never came to fruition. Maybe because their targeted players kept being available? Seemed like that.
Good call on point 3. Seems that if Khyree hadn't made it to 108 they might have slid back. Kwesi has the whole year to add a couple more picks for 2025. I think a successful season from Darnold might earn all the traded 2025 picks back.
@@robe2504 He's on a 1 year deal. Unfortunately, he won't have trade value unless traded midyear.
@@DTC12 I think that's a failure of imagination.
Firstly, the Vikes can extend him any time.
Secondly, I believe he can still be franchise tagged, and then traded.
Thirdly, he could be traded any time before FA starts next March, to any team that wanted to get ahead of the market.
@@robe2504 I like the creativity. However, the non-exclusive franchise tag would cost around $38.3M if we were unable to trade him, which would hurt our leverage. (In other words, the teams wanting him might believe we want to get him off our books and want to turn the reigns over to his successor.) Maybe, that works out and ends up in some draft compensation. If so, that would be great. Anything is certainly better than nothing. I don't think anyone trades for him before FA since they would assume an expiring contract, and he would have no obligation to sign with that team. Theoretically, it is possible, but it seems unlikely. An extension might be considered if they want to give McCarthy extended time as the #2. I can't see more than 2 years, though.
@@DTC12 The Vikes haven't had a mobile QB with a good arm, who is also a rushing threat for over a decade.
I think it is very realistic than Darnold has a breakout season with this scheme and roster, and to me that changes the whole calculus.
I didn't know the tag amount was $38m, but Kwesi should be able to extend him for much less than that. Who knows, he might even be worth the $38m by the end of the season.
I can just see the possibility where the Vikes have two very promising QBs and some difficult decisions to make at the end of 2024 and maybe well into 2025, but a great problem to have, and potentially a very marketable asset is this QB thirsty league.
Skol!
This draft was the definition of Quality over Quantity. I love this draft class. Kwesi absolutely cooked. SKOL 💜💛
Same. Day 1 was great, but I love Khyree, Rouse, even the kicker Reichard was a smart pick.
Loved it...and they knocked it out the box with the UDFA class too... I'm hyped!!❤
Diehard Packers fan here, but absolutely love seeing a behind the scenes look at the NFL draft. Super cool to see the process unfold from start to end. It’s fun seeing the reaction to getting the call. 10/10 video!
And much respect to your packers. Also a good draft. And what a steal was j.love!!! Even Tom grossi didn't like it at first but it worked out BEAUTIFULLY
Not Vikings fan but I honestly am pretty scared of the Vikings this year and the following years. People have shitted on JJ and said he’s not good but last time I checked he’s the only one who hasn’t lost a game and won a championship over everyone. Dallas turner was a steal as well. The Vikings are gonna be a Dark horse team this year idk why people are over looking them
How can you not be so freaking pumped about the Vikings after watching this?! I especially loved the little gleam in JJs eyes when he talked about getting a championship!!!! Skol!!! 💜💜💜💜
About. Damn. TIME!
Immediate click! I had no idea Dallas was tearing up, I can’t wait to see that guy ball😎
I freaking love this class man.. this might be the draft we talk about 20 years from now about how it changed our franchise forever. Hopefully for the better
JJ to JJ is gonna be insane!
I love getting an inside look at the draft process. It’s genuinely one of the most interesting things and I look forward to this video probably too much every year 😂
The ultimate Litmus test, does it make Flo smile?
A+ Draft on the 1st day
These seem like the highest character players of all time. All of their genuine happiness from being drafted by the Vikings is awesome to see
Let Kwesi cook
What a fun look behind the scenes. SKOL!
I love the premeditated nature of the Khyree, Rouse, Reichard and Jurgens picks. They presumably had some different targets with their original picks, but it looks as though they re-calibrated after day 1 and still got some of their original crushes.
Absolutely... they were calling their names well before they were coming up... that was awesome to see...Absolutely nailed it! ❤️
B.Flo smiling... W!
Jets fan here. Cool to see the other side of the trade between our teams. I think it was a win-win for both sides. We weren't drafting a QB at 10, and trading a few mid-round picks for the guy you were targeting was a no brainer. I've always liked JJ and will be rooting for him to do well in Minnesota....unless you guys play the Jets!
Made me tear up a little bit to see those young talents emotions. Glad to have em in Minnesota, really hyped for the season. Skol all the way from germany!
Kewsi is winning the hearts of Minnesotans! He’s a breathe of fresh air! I love my Vikings and I’m happy we got jj and Dallas! I’m not familiar with the rest of the guys but coach and kewsi sure seemed thrilled to get them
I hope Levi is a stud the energy is amazing
I guess Kwesi answered the question of who is in charge. He seems to be making these decisions on the fly when it comes to last minute decisions.
It did say on the Vid "I'm a spreadsheet guy , but sometimes you got to put the screen down and take a risk"
He seemed calculated but had a gut feeling about it this draft more. I mean if he used spreadsheets for the 2022 draft, then scrap the spreadsheet, the guy is adapting
Really? How can you conclude that?
They were sweating the JJ trade from pick 8, and had it all planned and it place before then.
They were talking about Turner 3 or 4 picks earlier, and Kwesi pulled the trigger when the risk of missing out became too high and met the price he could pay of trading up. KOC as hoping Turner would get to 23, and Kwesi was saying no way, they had to go get him.
The Khyree and Rouse picks were very pre-meditated. They called the risk of taking Reichard first and gambling that Jurgens would make it to 230.
There as absolutely nothing "on the fly" or last minute about ANY of these picks.
@@IceCubE4425 That was a quote from a pre-draft interview. To be fair he did that exact same thing in the first draft when he picked Akayleb Evans. Some folks criticise his first draft, but he and KOC had barely been in the building and negotiated Kirk and Hunter's extensions by then. Even then the 2022 class is already very league average, and still really tbd, not the disaster that some folks might suggest.
@@robe2504I wasn’t talking about who they pick. Obviously it looks like they did their homework way before. I’m saying the decisions of when to make a trade or stand firm. Or who to get first and so on.
Walter Rouse is fucking BIGGGGG. He gonna be a huge impact on our team
I could see him winning the start at LG this season. He is a huge mofo, with long arms.
As a Michigan fan I never thought I would be watching so much Viking uploads but with JJ at the helm ill be watching the Vikings closely.
Great video thank you Minnesota Vikings!
SKOLLLL i love this team so much. WE WILL WIN A SUPER BOWL!!! THIS ORGANIZATION IS SPECIAL AND THE LEAGUE WILL SOON REALIZE HOW SPECIAL MINNESOTA SPORTS ARE!!!
Kwesi was cooking with grease!!!!!
What a freaking draft!
That handshake at 9:52 was intense lol
This is my favorite UA-cam video ever. Couldn’t be happier with the staff
Love the inside look. Thank You!!
It's great seeing footage how it all shook out behind the scenes. What an amazing draft! SB bound in the near future! Skol!
Very cool! Thank you for posting this. Love the draft so much and still just immersing myself in all of the new players my favorite NFL team got!
It's about darn time
Good things happen to people that wait
Rouse looks and sounds like a beast
“We got too many nice things on day one, we don’t deserve any other nice things.” -Chef Kwesi 😂
Jj is sick. Straight up Friday Night Lights. I hope he ends up being good.
Love these videos. The calls and reactions are priceless.
You guys do great work with these pieces. Thank you
Kwesi & company picked high quality character studs. The future is bright for SKOLLL NATION
Love the War Room behind-the-scenes stuff!
Would be a blast to actually be there when picks are made, but this is the next best thing.
Always nice to see all the joy from all the people that made sacrifices and worked so hard for success.
that Dallas Turner phone call is gonna age so well
LETS GOOO, skol
Does anyone else absolutely love these videos and find them so interesting? Like we’re literally watching the inner workings of an NFL team during draft day, interviews, player analysis. It’s crazy and I’m so thankful the Vikings video team have been making sure the fans are informed. Well done. Very well done.
I wanted JJ and then Nix if we couldn’t get him. I honestly didn’t think JJ would make it to us. Unreal….and then to get Dallas Turner on top of it?! He was my number 1 defensive player in this draft. I didn’t think he’d clear top 10. I’m still in shock!
Skol babyyy
As a disabled vet I would love nothing more to come and watch the Vikings
Thank you for your service! Skol!!
Thank for being a hero ! The Vikings do have a wounded warrior program . Not sure how you could get with them but we love our veterans!. I hope somebody from the Vikings sees this and reaches out to you.
Can we get another video on our UDFA haul please
So excited for All the young men who worked so hard to make their dreams come true
Shoutout to Matt Danials
Giants fan but am also a Wolverine fan and I'm happy you guys got JJ! I felt Minny was the best place for him to go.
Also, I really like the atmosphere the front office and coaches have. Kwesi runs things like I would imagine I'd run things if I was a GM.
Best of luck in Week 1!
LET KWESI COOK 🗣️
It's crazy how badly Kwesi wanted and predicted every single specific player look at this MF cooking WITH GAS 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Vikings social team does it again
The Vikings finally drafted a big corner, that is what I am talking about!
And UDFA Dwight McGlothern too. Might need both of them against the Bears with Odunze and Keenan Allen. Allen roasted Byron Murphy last season. Khyree should at least have a chance against those long guys like Courtland Sutton and Tee Higgins that both stole games off the Vikes last season.
They finally have a great mix in that CB room. Murphy/Blackmon should be ideal to cover Amon Ra. Khyree and Dwight also good for Jameson Williams, Christian Watson etc.
SKOL VIKINGS! have not been this excited since AD.
thank you vikings! keep giving us more behind the scenes stuff love it
Great video! Fun to watch!
I think the guy they wanted was Byron Murphy. But the seahawks took him, so they took the highest value player that being Turner I like Turner as a player more, but we do need an interior defensive line player bad
KWESI Masterclass
He needed it after that disastrous 22 class
You guys put together nice videos. Money
Kwesi pretty cool
Kwesi was rocking the sweater vest well in the later rounds lol
I love the Minnesota Vikings.I think they have a great step up-and-down.Things are really looking up.Great players great coaches great owners skol Vikings
LETS GOOO JJ!!! SKOL
The best part about all this is that we finally have an aligned front office.
Let Chef Kwesi cook! SKOL!
Such a cool video. Thanks for sharing!
The last pick the Vikings made and it's a guy with high energy... One of the better reactions! Not saying the others were bad... but that energy is contagious and glad to see it.
Who knows what will happen with Levi but I'm so hoping he succeeds. Just pure, bubbling joy.
It’s impressive to see the way all these football minds working together.
Love it!
kwesi masterclass
Hearing Paul Allen call JJ passes to JJ is gonna be so awesome
Whatever shortcomings McCarthy may have will be alleviated, I believe, as he grows with Coach O'Connell. JJ has talent and a dogged work ethic. Now, true, Sam Darnold is the likely starter in Week 1, but Vikings' fans have something to be excited about. The NFC North will be FUN to watch!
Been a Minnesota Vikings fans for over 20 years. We have hired some bad coaches but the organization under the Wilfs have always been a GREAT organization. I hope we win one soon!
Seeing this is amazing!
What an awesome video.
Wished all the teams did this every year, this was so well made
Wow, great video!!
In a world surrounded by Lions fans, of course I am one. With that said, I’m close to converting. JJ is that guy and as much as it sucks having him in the NFC North, thank God he won’t be ruined by the Giants…GO BLUE 〽️
Love this video ‼️
I’ve been waiting so long for this vid
Love this video
I a realky enjoying the draft process and I just started to follow (NFL)❤❤
Amazing video! SKOL!!
Give Kwesi his Michelin 🌟
“fired up” is now added to my vocabulary
Great draft class, Skol Vikings baby 💜 2024
I admit publicly my Man crush on BFlo
Been waiting on this one.
