Hypothetical and unlikely scenario. Some mocks have them giving their 11, 23 and Jefferson to Patriots for 3 and 68. So this is not as dumb as you think

If they’re as dumb as the question, they’re dumb enough to give up their 2024 1st rounder as well.

And 23? Man... lol...

Financials would probably be a mess, but I'm sure we'd figure it out... their GM would be fired immediately.

That's just bad value for JJ. They'd never do that trade either.

Think of the Tyreke Hill trade as an example. And, I believe the Vikings need even more than KC got for Hill. And that said, both these trades value JJ as only a 2nd round pick. They need a return of value of around a top 15 pick at minimum in my opinion.

Also consider… two 1sts this year plus JJ is probably better return than we got last year from the Panthers for the first. Obviously, it worked out great for us cause we landed number 1 again, but in terms of trade value at that time, the future Panthers pick was probably more so calculated around a future 5-10 pick which is like current value of ~pick 40. So… No. 9 plus a future 1st is probably less than picks 11 and 23 in the current year. As I said, JJ should return top 15 value, where Moore was probably more like late 1st value… maybe less? Anyway, that difference in WRs about makes up the 2nd round picks in the Panthers trade. I know the above proposal returns a third, but the difference between the 1st pick and the 3rd is trade chart value of roughly two 2nd round picks which squashes that 3rd.

Either way, bottom line is neither trade would realistically happen. The 11 & 23 picks alone are almost equal to the 3rd pick. Throwing in JJ to return a 3rd is nuts.

It might make hypothetical sense for them to move up to #3 by trading Jefferson and all those picks, since they can pick whichever of Maye or Daniels that WAS doesn't take (I actually hope they do this because no JJ hurts them and I think both Maye and Daniels will struggle without him).

But they're not going to trade Jefferson for #9 just to pick potentially the #5 or #6 QB that'll likely still be there by the #11 pick that they already own. The opportunity cost doesn't make sense in that scenario.

Don't think Poles can swing 60 million for 3 WRs. Smart play would be to draft one and allocate that money elsewhere.

GMMDB out

For JJ he’d find a way. That being said I don’t think there is a GM dumb enough to offer that trade or a GM dumb enough to refuse that trade.

Poles would find a way to have 3 pro bowl caliber WRs to welcome Caleb to the NFL if this silly ass opportunity presented itself.

So the Vikes making the moves they did to get Houston's pick means they're trying to trade in the top 5, not the back end of the top 10.

Justin Jefferson wants 30+ mil a year, to be the highest-paid WR in the history of the NFL, and its time to pay him. Absolutely not, because big money WRs don't win superbowls. That, and he, DJ, and Keenan would be useless and a complete waste when the bottom 10 OL gets Caleb killed.

Fans will revolt when none of them are 1000 yard WRs, go full diva and complain about lack of opportunities, kill the clubhouse lockerroom, and Ryan Poles would get appropriately fired when the offense is hot garbage yet again, and the DL after Sweat sucks balls, kind of like the last GB game of last year when they took him out of the game and nobody could make a play.

But....I'd kind of like that, because then every last dipshit who's been screaming "WR separation" the past X amount of years as the problem won't have any more excuses, and then they'll have to acknowledge that you can't half-ass the OL. Or, they'll be just as dumb as before and will deserve never to see a winning team, because the game is won and lost in the trenches, not the secondary. If even a few of said dipshits can see that, then that's a win.

I'm sure your Madden dynasty franchise or your fantasy football team loves the move.
