Draft Anticipation Rising

The NFL offseason is tediously long. If your team doesn’t make the playoffs, it’s eight months until you can enjoy competitive football again. To make the time go (somewhat) faster, I like to break the offseason into four quarters: the first covers the start of the new league year and the initial free-agent frenzy; the […]

Host Tyler Forness, joined by producer Dave […]

Who Is Your Favorite Late-Round Vikings Draft Target?

Will Rob Brzezinski Be the Next Vikings GM?

As the Minnesota Vikings prepare for the NFL Draft at the end of the month with interim GM Rob Brzezinski taking a leading role, there is speculation whether Brzezinski himself will be named the new Vikings general manager after the draft is over.

Five Players I Wouldn’t Hate Seeing at #18 For the Vikings

The 2026 NFL Draft is almost upon us, and I haven’t spent nearly as much time speculating on which players I would like to see our Minnesota Vikings go after as I would like. Hopefully, I can spend a good chunk of the next couple of weeks attempting to remedy that, starting with a look […]

Vikes Views: Murray’s Job to Lose

As the Minnesota Vikings approach the start of their offseason program on April 20, the most impactful question facing the franchise centers on the quarterback position. Whether the Week 1 starter is J.J. McCarthy or Kyler Murray would signal two very different philosophies about how the team views its identity and competitive window. The Vikings […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: All You Can Do Now Is Mock

The owners meetings are going on and we had some interviews that will be interpreted in every which way that one can imagine. I really do not have much thoughts on what was said as I think often times it is just talk. They wont reveal anything so we will be left to speculate. I […]

What Was the Worst Vikings Game You’ve Attended?

Usually, when we talk about our memories associated with the Minnesota Vikings, we make an effort to focus on the positive moments. However, inspired by a post from our friends at Mile High Report, I wanted to go in a slightly different direction to spark some discussion for this weekend. What is the worst Minnesota […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Should The Vikings Keep Greenard?

As we motor on towards the draft, it appears that there likely will not be any further free agent signings until after the draft unless they are for the minimum. There might be a contract extension for O’Neill but I thought that was going to be last year. Could the team just leave his contract […]

There is no news to report on any activity happening in at the TCO Performance Center in Eagan, Minnesota. The team is likely prepping for the draft with many of the same people who have been present for the last four years of not so stellar drafts. Comforting to say the least. But heh, what […]
