No matter what happens, I’m glad we took the chance on Maye. I’m all in favor of taking swings at the QB position!
Hard pass
lol they wanted more than the #3 while only giving up 2 1sts (the 11 doesn’t count since we would have been swapping 3 for 11) they were more delusional than it actually seemed
and as much they are gonna spin about McCarthy that front office wanted Maye and a lot of fans wanted him too.
Not enough
They wanted mid round selections in addition to the third pick? Delusional.
JJ McHype will cripple the Vikings
lol, I love reading Vikings fans try to justify that this offer was fair and that then we did them a favor by not excepting it because they got JJ who is clearly better. The delusional assumption by a fan base is always fun
Bruh, wtf. Who would have taken that deal? 3 firsts and a couple of mid-round selections would have been palatable, but not exciting. I would have dropped the phone and blocked their number. What were they smoking over in Minneapolis? Going by the nuggets Tom Curran was dropping leading up to the draft, it seems that if the Vikes dropped their request for mid-round picks, they probably could have gotten the number 3 pick.
I’m more than happy with what we got tyvm.
Wait they wanted No.3 and like our 3rd and 4th rounder for 11, 23 and next years 1st? They were delusional.
Nah
The inclusion of mid round picks on the patriot end make this a bafflingly bad offer, as does Minnesota needing to trade up to 10 for McCarthy, which likely would not have been available for the pats given that it was with the jets. McCarthy, 23, and next year’s first would have made me think hard about it, but realistically this would have looked like Nix, 23, and next year’s first in exchange for 3 and two likely decent picks.
The Giants offer was much better, especially considering there’s a real chance that’s an early 1st next year once they take Maye instead of Nabers.
Yeah, I wouldn’t have taken that either
Honestly I would have been happy getting that for just #3, but also mid rounds is too much.
Yup. That’s what a rebuilding team with tons of holes needs. To move out of the Top 10 and end up with 1 fewer pick this year.
I was in record saying that in a vacuum, the Vikings offer was even. Seeing that they wanted a pair of mid rounders makes it a flat out bad offer.

They wanted more than #3 with that trade? Thats a slap in the face lmao I’m so glad we told them to eat shit. Absolute delusional organization
Fuck off, what a gross offer.
I felt like we should have went MHJ and then went for one of those dominate slipping DTs in the 2nd round, but who knows how it would have all shaken up if we took MHJ at 3.
I’m excited for Maye and it’s mostly from reading stuff like this when Kevin O’Connell and Brain Dabboll definitely were interested in him.
Man I was really hoping we’d all just stop talking about this now that the draft is over and it doesn’t matter at all.
We got our guy because we valued him more than what we were offered.
Vikings got their guy at a price point they valued him.
Move on already and stop worrying about what the other side is saying.
T Lance trade is the bar now, so no it was not enough. I like the thought off drafting a high risk, high reward QB like Maye. Especially after our Mac experience.
Welcome to Delusion-fest 2024
The reporting I had heard made it sound like the Pats turned down some crazy offers. This is not close to what I expected, really glad we didn’t trade for this package.
I would have said no even if there werent 2 middle round picks also going out.
We literally needed the QB so for us to move off that would have to be an overpay. #11, 2025 FRP and 2026 FRP and I’d probably do it.
I don’t know, watching a Sam Darnold led team try to win this year, I’d like the chances of next year’s 1 being top 10.
Vikings forgot they had to pay the QB needy tax. If the Pats had a really good, young QB on the roster, this would be a no brainer.
Going on record that I wish we took that offer
Holy fuck, that’s a terrible offer. 11, 23 and the 2025 1st on its own wasn’t enough, but they wanted mid round picks back in return as well? Hell nah
“But Drake sucks and it was always JJ.”
It would’ve been comparable to the 49ers trade for lance but they got the whole mid-round thing wrong. They should’ve been throwing in a third or fourth for us not us giving them TWO mid-round picks, which were probably our 3rd and 4th round pick?? That’s wild.
Lmao this deal sucks
Yeah. That was a hot garbage offer. Vikes can suck it.
Worked out great for both teams IMO.
Sounds like they were trying to swindle us, bunch of shawls testing the new aquatic players to see if they’re chum or a threat. Good for Wolfe to not get got
