You're right. It must have been someone else I was thinking of.
Here's a couple paragraphs about both QBs. Both look to be impressing, Carr has bigger arm, but might not be as accurate.


1. Of the South's quarterbacks, Fresno State's Derek Carr unquestionably possesses the best arm. The ball explodes out of his hand and caught a few of his new teammates by surprise with how quickly it got to them. Carr showed good anticipation, often delivering passes before his receivers turned back to look for the ball.

2. Eastern Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo continued the positive momentum he'd gained from the East-West Shrine Game with an impressive initial practice. While he does not possess Carr's howitzer, Garoppolo has a very quick set-up and release and frequently threw led his receivers away from defenders, showing better ball-placement than Carr on several of his throws.

Carr was a no show at the Senior Bowl, I think.
Not sure if that helps, or hurts his draft status.

It was AJ McCarron who skipped it.

Yeah Idk what he was thinking to be honest.

Forgetting the name of his bust older brother I just feel like Carr would be a perfect fit. Admitting I haven't actually watched him play a whole lot so luckily it's not me making the call. But what I have seen and everything I've read about him I just really think he would work great with our current offense.

I also obviously like Teddy, Manziel and Bortles but at this point expectations have to be they will be all gone and we won't trade up.

Garoppolo sounds like he has a lot of promise as well but I know absolutely zero about him lol.

 

[Nosferatu]

I want Carr.

I don't believe he will turn out like his brother. Getting Carr at 8th would be huge in my opinion.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Nosferatu]

Taking Khalil Mack with the 8th pick is the way to go IMO...

Listening to the radio today, the local guy, who was at the senior bowl was really talking about Mettenberger, and how he really fits the mold of QB that Turner would like. Not sure if the ACL injury will be enough to sway them onto another guy, but I don't want the Vikes going QB with 1st pick. And Mettenberger should be 2nd or 3rd rounder, according to him.
I would think the Vikes will go CB/LB in 1st, they can get #1 or #2 at the position with the 8th pick, then QB, defense, defense to round out top 4 picks.

Here you are mr.hockey..Wobby agrees with you on Carr.

QB would be nice, but I'd take WR Brandin Cooks, a guy with no fear over the middle and a set of hands to catch balls and move the chains.

Homer pick of course.

 

[JohnRandle]

I hope they don't go offense at all with 1st pick. They have bigger needs on the other side of the ball imo.

I can't think of a position they shouldn't draft with the 8th pick more than WR. Just my opinion...

Dad wants us to trade out of the 1st round altogether and stock the fuck up on picks.

 

[JohnRandle]

I don't really want them to trade the first pick, just don't want them to go QB.
At #8 they can get the best LB or CB in the draft. Either is a HUGE need.
If Mack is there, I would hope that's a no brainer for Speillman

 

[JohnRandle]

Peanut Tillman to test free agency.
I know he's old, but he would give some knowledge to that young secondary.

What do you guys think of trying to get him here?

 

[mr.hockey4242]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I'll be man enough to admit if I'm wrong. But Carr would kill it with us. Put that in PENlaugh3

Yeah Mack is a pretty hot commodity, I just don't know if he'll be there.

So MVF,
Who do you want to see the Vikes keep?

 

[mrwallace2ku]

IF ya can not beat em, then out score em I say...


Draft on the O side and recover from there I say.

 

[JohnRandle]

That's been the Packers for a few seasons now, not really working that well.
I like defense, and think they need to start there. But hey, if they draft all offense and win a Super Bowl, I would be just fine with it. lol

I've watched him a hand full of times, he's not as accurate as his completion % shows and he blows at looking past his first option. Looking at his stats and reading up on him he wasn't real good against good teams. He has a strong arm but thats all he has IMO. It would be catastrophic if he was taken at #8.

The other team could just throw their helmets on the field and beat the Vikes if they take Carr.
