Maybe Darnold just wasn’t on the right teams, or had the right coaches, to show what he’s capable of. This is his moment to shine.
But whatever… with the Vikings getting a lot of their needs met in Free Agency, they look to be going after a QB in this draft. How much that will cost, I have no idea. But they can now give up more picks than they could have before FA.
100%. Really fun player with a high ceiling and is a testament to his mental toughness and focus. I wouldn’t want him starting the first year, though. Rookies hopping in are burdened with the league’s expectations and just feel like they’re more likely to risk injury.

hmmm yeah that’ll be interesting. Lots of QBs in this draft.
There are some good gambles in later rounds and Darnold can be a bridge guy, absorbing the shock of hitting the league.
If Penix goes to 2nd round like these drafts are rating him, I’d grab him. He’s skinny, but so is Jayden Daniels.
