Into a whipping wind, McCarthy threw a go ball about 40 yards downfield on a line to Jefferson, who accelerated to full speed, reached out with his left hand and tipped the ball to himself for the catch.

Welcome to summertime, everybody. The time where we attempt to glean everything we can from OTAs and spend the rest of the time speculating about what will come this fall. It's a great time to have questions about the Vikings so let's dive in... To answer this question, I would probably have to take a shot at the baseline for first-round quarterbacks in general. Rough estimate for any QB taken in the top 15 is 40% bust, 10% journeyman, 25% solid starter, 20% Pro Bowl, 5% Hall of Fame.
