Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Minnesota Vikings draft intel, Dexter Lawrence, plan at center and more: Ep. 155 | Presented by First Resource Bank

Q: How will the Vikings navigate the running back position leading up to the draft?

Alec lays out the current backfield, noting three trustworthy veterans and several intriguing draft options, with Jeremiah Love viewed as a potential top tier in a hypothetical scenario, but not likely to be available at 18; he also outlines how the running back group could evolve around tiers and the possibility of adding a depth piece later.

ESPN’s Jordan Reid gives Vikings draft predictions and intel: Ep. 156 | Presented by First Resource Bank

Q: What, I mean, before we get into all the Viking stuff, which there's a lot to get to, like what for you is the most interesting pivot point, maybe in the top 10 or early in the draft?

Jordan highlights the Cleveland pick as a focal point and notes the potential for many routes, including receiver or tackle; he underscores that Andrew Berry tends to have smart, unexpected moves and that depth and versatility drive his analysis.

Vikings draft fits, Dillon Thieneman, Caleb Downs, Kenyon Sadiq and more with Fran Duffy: Ep. 154 | Presented by First Resource Bank

Q: Who was your favorite center prospect, and why?

Connor Liu stood out due to his athleticism and intangibles, despite being undersized and coming off an ACL injury, suggesting he could be a solid round two target if he recovers well.

Vikings draft fits, Dillon Thieneman, Caleb Downs, Kenyon Sadiq and more with Fran Duffy: Ep. 154 | Presented by First Resource Bank

Q: What is your take on Kenyon Sadiq as a tight end option for the Vikings?

Sadiq is an explosive blocker with strong inline and move-blocking ability, offering a path to multi-tight end usage even if his size isn't traditional inline; his athleticism and blocking could make him a valuable complement to Hockinson and Oliver.
