Funny little thing I just saw……

Looking up the comp picks formulas wondering if Cam Robinson was going to change the Vikings math (he doesn’t). But what I didn’t realize is that Vikes are currently in line for a 3rd round pick for Darnold……and here is the funny part….a 4th round pick for Daniel Jones.

He literally never put on pads for us I don’t believe. Certainly didn’t take even a snap. Now these are obviously just someone projecting and not the be all, end all determination. But that seems a touch ridiculous if true.

No I think that’s true because they signed him off of the practice squad late in the season. I think that’s enough to trigger the compensatory pick situation for you guys.

Vikings sign Rondale Moore.

Build through the draft my ass.

The compensatory pick for Jones was discussed about 2 months ago. It's a current loophole in the NFL system. Hopefully the NFL will adjust the criteria this offseason so that the Vikings don't receive a pick for him. That's not an anti-Vikings sentiment but more a case of preventing an abuse. The Giants could have buried Jones as a game day inactive on the 53-man roster. Instead they helped their guy out. Another team shouldn't receive a Draft pick for that.
