Man this draft has been fun as hell, we got our qb of the future and a dawg at edge rusher in the first round!!!! This gonna be fun to watch man SKOL!!!
Both just 21!
@@miamisasquatch man I forgot about that too lol makes it even better
Just like the Texans last year. I’m not saying JJ is CJ Stroud but one draft can change a franchise. Let’s hope 🤞. SKOL 💜💜
@@anthonytobias5459I have been saying the same thing🤞
@@anthonytobias5459 hope so man!!!!!! Let’s go
Congrats Vikings fans, you guys got a leader and a winner in JJ McCarthy! You got a dawg in Minneapolis!!
I see all this "you you you" in your comment. Join us, follow your quarterback, OUR quarterback. We'd love to have you. SKOL!
MINNESOTA not minneapolis...thanks JJ is now a VIKING...WIN WIN WIN
Looks like I’m a Vikings fan now
@@F.W.ENDER.75 No need to correct them. He is just as correct saying Minneapolis.
Is he Tom Brady 2.0. That’s what I want to know.
Three takeaways for the Vikings first round and offseason
1. We didn’t have to trade the house for a qb and drafted our guy at 10.
2. We drafted arguably the best defensive player in the draft at 17. Most people had him at 8 to the falcons.
3. Kwesi cooked this offseason. We now will have money to resign JJ and future signings for the foreseeable future. We also signed a few defensive players that will improve our defense and hopefully got the qb of the future. I’m really looking forward for this season. SKOL
You forgot Aaron Jones....
@@josephboyat-bt1jf WHY ONLY A GRADE B ???
Now get some damn OL help in there!😡
@@josephboyat-bt1jf
I would rather get 2 solid 1st round picks than 3-5 mediocre 2-5th round picks personally
SKOL VIKINGS!!!!!
JJs confidence is somethin I love in a qb and it translates
Both offensive and defensive minded coaches are happy tonight. All thanks to KAM and his team.
As a Lions fan, I am both fearful and happy as hell for JJ. Best landing spot he could ask for, but I am fearful because I truly believe this dude is SPECIAL. He has both special talent and intangibles and has this clutch gene that you can only understand by watching him as often as Michigan fans did. He always made the play when we needed it most. People don’t fully understand how great he is going to be. I don’t look forward to facing him twice a year. He may need a year of grooming but in 2-3 years I have a feeling he is going to be contending for championships
It's over for the lions I fear 😂😭
We didn't sell the future and still got great players.
That's the biggest thing. Even if this season bombs, we have our own pick still next year!
sucks to not have 2 or 3 next year
@@WumpusYT. Still got at least one compensatory pick coming + whatever comes from the whole Falcons tampering situation. Also have a boatload of cap space in 2025 so it will be a more free agency oriented off-season I'm sure
@@yeshyyeshiam2520 Oh yeah true. Either way W draft!
They should get two 3rd round comp picks because of losing kirk and Danielle. They signed massive contracts which is what compensatory picks are decided on. @WumpusYT.
As a Lions fan and Michigan fan, JJ is a stud. We know what he really is and it’s pretty special. You guys win round 1 no doubt
You guys have a great team finally! You guys deserve it, kick the Packas and Bears butts:)
@@jeremybruce654 Thanks it feels good. Michigan fans wanted JJ in Minnesota. It’s the best possible fit for him. Joel Klatt nailed it, except he had you trading with Harbaugh up to 5 to get him.
@@Cheebaroni812-kx5ytit sounds like mn contacted chargers bout trading Herbert so if that would've happened jj would be chargers
@edwardcorey1071 a reporter asked kwesi that after the draft was over and kwesi said "none of that information came from us" and something along the lines of kwesi thought it was funny because how made up it was.
Good luck to your Lions this season!
“Players from successful winning cultures“ 🔥🔥
Just 🔥😈One🏆 B4💜💛WE-DIE😈🙌🏻🙏🏻
How in the world did we get Dallas Turner! #SKOL!!!
Idk 😂😂 ..... today was a good day
Kwesi ❤
Falcons stupidity is Real,.
Y'all need to send flowers,.lol~
The run of offensive players is how. Very very pleased with this draft so far.
screw hunter we got turner lol
Kwesi Cooked like a Master Chef,wow,what a great Draft, magnificent,10/10❤
As a vikings fan and Michigan season ticket holder, I am flying high right now. Excited to add another McCarthy jersey to my collection.
It’s so nice to go through the comments and see we are all happy with tonight’s picks! 💜💛#Skol
Honestly the first time in my life I have ever seen that happen for this team.
@@cavedog1279 I was just about to say that, It's so often NOT the case. I've been super impressed with everything Kwesi and his boys have been able to accomplish the last few years and this draft is no exception. The team seems to be in as good of hands as its ever been in my lifetime and it's exciting to see.
Best first round I've ever seen! Very well done! A+
Feeling really good about the way things went tonight! Skol!
Yeah..and no day 2 draft choices for almost 3 years.
Bo Nix will outplay Good Times JJ
@@SteveM-gj2vynah. I’m pumped about this draft
@@SteveM-gj2vy why you mad?
@SteveM-gj2vy well we most likely won’t use our 1st round pick next year and we will most likely trade back so we can aquire more picks.
Incredible night Vikes. Turning point in our history. Thank you
It does feel that way...I thought we would screw it up...we crushed it!
The anti-Falcons
We finally got football changing franchise break last night
That's see if they can play first
@@gregpettis1113 As someone who has defensed Kirk, we know he will work. Everyone and their mom wanted Kirk gone so we could draft a real QB. This is it. This is the guy. This is the savior. He will be better than Kirk. I know this because I have been getting trashed for years for saying Kirk is pretty good. Don't go crying about it yet!
I keep clicking Oconnel’s collar thinking it’s the play button
Now That's funny !!
Future is bright as hell man!! SKOL BABY 😈
Lifelong Lions fan. Lifelong Michigan fan.
Hate that I have to cheer for JJ when he isn't playing Detroit. But that's my boy.
Ecstatic about getting JJ and Dallas! Love to see it. SKOL
Dallas Turner is going to be a dawg. Flores is smiling ear to ear
DROY he a beast
JJ 2 JJ! Let's go!!!!!
We need more JJs😊
Jefferson will be gone to Cincinnati Bengals with Joe burrow his former teammate at LSU
@@WillieDillard-iz8xbNonsense, him leaving was media created, thinking he's another Diggs, which he is not. It will be JJ throwing to JJ, hopefully leading to a Super Bowl win !!!
@WillieDillard-iz8xb why do players want to be traded away from the bengals?
So it’s JJ squared
Nothing but smiles from KOC and the MN vikings fan base. You just love to see it. JJ TO JJ LETS GET IT BOYS
Hawks fan here and one hell of a day for you guys 🎉. Wow!
This was an amazing draft for the Minnesota Vikings. Essentially, we got two top 10 draft choices. JJ McCarthy was projected to be top five pick by many analysts. Dallas turner is easily a top 10 pick in most years. If it wasn’t for the first 13 picks being offense pics. Dallas, Turner would’ve been a top 10 pick this year. These two draft choices combined with the Vikings free-agent acquisitions, will give us a top ten offense, and a top ten Defense.
Seems like they did a good job on round 1. Got their guy on QB and got a solid defensive addition. Congrats on the success and keep at it. I look forward to watching next season and the seasons to follow as JJ potentially steps up and into the leadership spot. Would love to see MN hoist up that trophy for the first time.
We got both our guys! Skol
How do you figure? Spent the entire offseason to get Maye or Daniels
@@mikebaldock2706 then joke is on you if you fell for that, McCarthy fits what KOC wants to do best as a player plus also as a person. Dallas Turner best fit for B Flo when looking for edge!
I am feeling way damn good 😊
I was worried coming into this draft. I feel good and excited about the future! #skol
I like all the moves my Vikes made!!! SKOL!
Dynasty in the making. 💯
😈🔥🥹💭🏈🙌🏻💜💛
Lets go coach. You got the QB you wanted. Flores got the FAs he wanted plus a HUGE pick-up in Dallas Turner (DROY). Let's make some noise immediately. SKOL!!!
Well done!
Browns fan here to offer congregation to a very nicely played first round.
Crushed it
Best draft ever for the Vikes! ✊🏾
Y'all nailed it and killed the Falcons for the next 10 yrs ,..lol~ ...
I'm a lion fan but I can say yall do have a good quarterback back now. Good job Vikings. I will be rooting for Minnesota when yall not playing us lol 😂.
yall got a great one
Please Sam Darnold make it hard for McCarthy to start! Fuckin amazing night!
For Real
Well done boys!
A+ Draft
This absolutely blew my expectations out of the water! QB one AND a top tier pass rusher?? Folks if y’all aren’t sold on this regime yet, and I’m still waiting, but damn they killed it tonight!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Let’s freaking gooooooo!! SKOL FROM WYOMING 😈😈😈
Im a New Yorker and big NY Jets Fan and 50 years old this was a homerun pick great guy, great attitude,very good ability and will be a special player for years to comes in this league. Viking Fans your GM did well with this pick.
EXCELLENT START!!! GOOD STUFF SKOL BABY
Skol! Thank you, Jesus!!
Great first day Kwesi. Tremendous first day!
kwesi you have earned my respect amazing first round for the vikings. keep it up.
So excited about these 2 draft picks!
Incredible first round. To get BOTH of those players and not give up next year's 1st round pick is a massive win.
I trust Kev to get the best out of Mccarthy. Same with Flo and Turner
You don't have to worry about brian Flore because he can coach that's a fact
As a Michigan and McCarthy fan I was pleased that he landed with the Vikes. Love to see a young QB paired with a QB guru type coach, and there are some nice pieces around him. Really tough Division to compete in, these days. Could be a starter by what, week 6 or so?
Congratulations to J.J., Dallas and the Vikings!
I’ve been watching J.J. throughout this process, leading up to the draft, and I think you guys scored a major bargain!
A great first round and looking forward to this season. Good job by all scouts and all the people behind the scenes.
Life long Viking fan, I APPROVE! SKOL!!!!!!!!
Kwesi & Co did a great job on day 1! Keep it coming!
future is great. Love the staff. Love the players, Pay JJ so jmack can have jj tj ja aj
🤭🤣
Best draft Minnesota has had in a while wooooo!
Good feeling SKOL
You can tell O'Connell is excited about JJ. He is all smiles. Hopefully he doesn't let us down! SKOL
I am excited to see this young man play for us. I’m excited for the future of our Vikings!!!
i can’t wait for the season man
Draft was excellent! Good job GM and coach!
I've felt confident in the last couple years when I've seen the moves and direction this front office has made, this draft was no exception. They seem to be in good hands now, finally!
Very pleased
Let’s goooo! #skol
Very happy
I love this fire in Kevin!! Channel the Superbowl!
When it comes to College football, I have been a life-long Buckeyes fan, so I am not supposed to like this pick! LOL Regardless, rationality must win over emotions, and I think that Kwesi A-M made a great choice in picking McCarthy. All along, I believed that Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy were - by far - the two most appropriate choices for the organization, and -by far - the two best fits for KOC & the Vikings roster. So, I am really looking forward to following McCarthy's arrival, development during the off-season, pre-season & beyond! SKOL!!!
It's definitely an A+ grade 1st round. So stoked.
Great job this draft guys!!! SKOL!!!!
As a Dolphins fan Minnesota aready won the Draft~
I would have loved to see Cousin’s face when the Falcons took Penix at #8.
It makes sense, Cousins is old and injured. Also he got the $ he wanted. I'm sure he's not butthurt.
that organizing
is retarded , in so many ways. I am beginning to think it's Arthur. lol
Skol Vikings 💜
7-10. Skol
@@r3tr0actiongamer2420-0.
Let’s go baby!!!!!! SKOL
First time ever I’ll be getting a Vikings QB jersey. And I’m almost 50 . Skol Vikings !
Congrats Minnesota! McCarthy is a franchise winner and perfect for your scheme. Can't wait to see him at the next level.
We’re geniuses. JJ and Jets are bringing one home for us. God we draft so well. BRING IT HOME.
This draft reminds me a lot of last year Texans , hope it turns out like the Houston !
JJ McCarthy is not Stroud lmao dude is not an NFL starting QB 😭😭😭
@@CoffeeeNBearsJJ could be the next Stroud
MANY teams and corporations TALK about "changing the culture" etc. and many fail, I truly BELIEVE, KOC and the HAPPY CHEF are CHANGING the culture in a very positive way that ENGRAINS UNITY. This platoon will DOMINATE.
its Christmas in april koc skol baby skol
Finally a Coach, GM that can pick in the draft👊 SKOL❤
Love it! So glad we have KOC and Kwesi. Great draft. 💜💛
Great night. They didn't really morgage the future and got great guys on both sides of the ball. For the first time in a while, I absolutely loved it!
Not as excited about JJ as others but the fact we didn't give up much to get him makes me feel better. I love the Turner draft. Good draft so far.
You will be, just wait and see
Anyone else excited to hear "JJ to JJ... TOUCHDOWN!!!"
Letssss gooo!
Dallas Turner was such a steal for us let’s go 🔥🔥.
Future is bright with JJ McCarthy in town.
We got lucky we didn’t over pay the patriots at 3 and they decided to keep the pick otherwise no Turner at all and no 1st round pick next year.. thank god they didn’t accept the trade. It all worked out in the end
Finest head coach in the nfl 🥵❤️
Also im pretty stupid but I hoped we would get jj and Turner. Didn't think possible. We did it tho. Great vibes. I'm so happy
I think they got the BEST CASE SCENARIO by keeping the 23.
He's smart, he's tall, he's a winner and he just added 20 lbs of muscle since last year..
LFG Skol!
SKOL fans. This season of us hunting for survival. With the addition of a potentially fantastic quarterback:this season is going to be very intgeresting, SKOLL, VIKINGS, SKOL
Go get em coach
I'm still shocked by the Falcons. Penix is a day one starter, not a bench warmer
Fr lol
They dont trust Cousins lol.
So are most of the draft “experts “. That’s a real head scratcher to me.
Penix sucks
Could the NFL suspend Cousins for a few games as part of the tampering punishment?
From an offense that hardly passes to one that hardly runs the ball. Good thing he’s young and has a strong arm.
Already got JJ jersey on pre-order.
Same 😂
I was so happy that we got JJ I'm born and raised Yooper and bleed blue for college and of course Purple all my life and when JJ had announced that he was going into the draft this year I wanted our Vikings to pick him!!!! It's gonna be a beautiful sound hearing JJ to JJ TOUCHDOWN!!!! Over and over to that first ever Lombardi trophy baby!!!!
Best first round since Steussie and Washington imo.
Round 1 clear WINNERS! Congratulations!
