Hey now, its always a great time to go to munch-ville... as to which I mean snacks. I find myself just grabbing a handful of things that are less than good for me and catching up w/ the various surges in the thread. Even binge a few of the posted vids. Good times. That being said I am like getting alarmingly more chill getting closer and closer to draft day. You'd think it would be the opposite. Honestly its a bit concerning. Need a little stress to get the heart racing. Spice up life a bit. Maybe I just feel good about the position we are in. Who knows.

We have not gotten new game film so it would take things of titanic proportions to get me to change my general outlook. How I feel now is about the same as how I felt after I first studied these guys. Nothing wrong with being open to change mind you, I just don't see us swimming in new information to catalyst that kind of thing is all.

You have to. He has to much ability in that department not to utilize it. Your running that dude regardless. Its part of the reason why being great at protecting yourself is gonna be vital. You are going to use his legs by offensive design. He did QB sneaks in college but there is no guarantee he can be effective at the NFL level at it. Moving an NFL pile requires a different amount of strength. Personally, with him its not something I'd want in the regular tool bag. I'd prefer to see read option takes for short yardage to give yourself a numbers advantage. Very effective. Logan Thomas-esk under center substitutes are also on the table if you gotta sneak.

Lotta grasping at straws going on 'round here. anything and everything at this point. Whatever floats ya boat, I guess. Yup. Usually the high end dual threat prospect that comes out is pretty much all athlete and a mess on the passing side without the developed mechanics or fundamental skills/reading ability, or they lack any kind of production entirely and are just good bodies. (see Ant Rich) Dude is kinda a unicorn. Its very hard to find a good comp. Its why I settled on sport package Hurts. Better performance model, better transmission/mechanics, better wheels and a whole lotta weight removed via carbon fiber. Basically the Shelby Cobra to Hurts Mustang.

Dang. There is a Rick n' Morty reference involving elbows that would be perfect here but I dare not post it... Its like a shot in the 4th Qtr and I cant take it. Hurts the feels. I think as he said, Keim took gauge of the landscape, saw that the viewpoint from NFL folks is somewhat significantly slanted towards JD and has worked from there. Then it has progressively grown. To his credit, he is always careful to preface what he says tho. Its not just "him" thinking JD can do this or that, he will quote Dan Quinn saying he can do whatever, or some people he talks to and trusts.

I blame fantasy football for these entitled takes. People getting big heads thinking they could have gone pro. You never blew out your knee. If your so nice, go get paid big $$$ for you takes. The below joke is from Chase Daniels playing days but is also apt as to his scouting /possible large amounts of sarcasm

Thought this was interesting. We all figured this was a better GM destination than most since we had a easy pathway to a new QB, but according to Peters he did not study QBs last year. I can buy that he was not intimately going over QBs w/ a fine tooth comb (SF had no real reason to chase one) but I gotta assume a guy in his position would at least know this was a "QB strong" draft. I think that knowledge helped lure him here, but it seems there was no specific guy that he came in with penciled in within his mind. Made the process even more open.

Scheduled last week https://www.si.com/nfl/vikings/news/vikings-private-workout-scheduled-jayden-daniels "It's unclear why it took this long, but the Vikings finally have a private workout scheduled with LSU quarterback and reigning Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, as Ian Rapaport of NFL Network first reported. It'll take place next Thursday in Louisiana, according to KSTP's Darren Wolfson."
