Chiefs and Vikings swapped late-round draft picks, with Kansas City also getting back Minnesota’s 2018 first-round pick, per source. https://t.co/EiWiQFgAQS

This! And the Donk fans were like "Yes, Chiefs fans are mean- but this is a "Safe Place" for you, friend!"
Donks only hope to break their losing streak against us, is that they somehow mortgage their future for Rodgers--or we have the Bye wrapped up and rest our starters against them in January. [Reply]
Is that guy really trying to act like going from the 7th to the 6th is significant value?
It's next to nothing.
Any possible injury settlement is of much more value. I'm not sure that settlement will be very significant since a case can be made that it happened under the vikings. I'm not sure how that works. [Reply]
Meh. I mean it's little draft capital given up so whatever but man... as much as I liked Hughes coming out he's just not that same player, and that neck injury looms like a dark cloud over his career going forward. Any next hit could be it, or worse.
I guess you kind of hope you can squeeze a season of high-level slot play out of him and dump him for what amounts to minimal investment. [Reply]

But we gave up about the equivalent of a 7th round pick. If Hughes does play at anything close to "high-level," aren't we getting more out of that pick than we really could expect otherwise? [Reply]

I dont think its an either or thing. I think they need both to happen for them to have any shot at ending the streak. [Reply]
I used to think Minnesotans were tough, salt-of-the-earth type folks. But between watching woke Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey dancing around like a flaming bundle of sticks and watching MikeVike's vagina bleed out because some people who know light years more about football were mean to her, I now think Minnesotans are softer than Justin Trudeau on his third cycle of hormone replacement therapy.

Moving up 15-20 picks into the 6th. That's literally a bag of chips and a Pepsi to give a 1st round guy a second chance to finish his recovery from health issues and play in the NFL. Talk about zero downside and a high ceiling. [Reply]
90 year old Bud Grant attending the midfield coin toss wearing short sleeves in -10 degree weather is the only awesome thing the Vikings have done in the past ten years [Reply]

Yes, but it's not about return on minimal investment as I tried to state.
We could also watch the kid stretchered off the field needing hope to ever walk again on any tackle. Taking that chance has me thinking it might not have been the best idea.
It's not that he just cracked the vertebrae and it healed, but that more neck injuries followed last year which shut him down. It points to the reality that everything isn't quite right there. I'm concerned about it. Quite frankly, I'm more surprised that Hughes didn't retire because of it. [Reply]

Not long ago, we spent our 6th round pick on Khalil McKenzie whom we drafted as a defensive tackle with the plan to convert him into an offensive guard.
And giving up a 7th for Hughes 'concerns' you?
The Israeli/Palestinian conflict concerns me. Covid variants concern me. Mahomes not staying in a protective bubble concerns me. Taking a flier on a guy in exchange for a 7th round pick should not concern any of us.
Unless you'd like your pick of these success stories?
