  • Thor Knows

    Sad that we may loose Thor as he transitions to the new GM of our Minnesota Vikings. Love listening to Thor (AJ is ok too).

  • Draft Mock

    I love the shows, would it be possible for you on mock drafts to say what the round number is. I listen to the show while driving and would improve my listening experience.

    Thanks

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Minnesota Vikings MAKING MOVES in NFL free agency
Q: Given today's quarterback market moves, are the Vikings likely to jump in, or will they wait for a more favorable situation?
They're likely to be selective, since Malik Willis and Tuataga Vailoa weren't ideal fits or affordable fits, respectively. The Vikings might wait to see how the Kyler Murray/Geno Smith markets shake out and favor a more cap-friendly approach rather than overcommitting to a prominent, expensive name.
Minnesota Vikings MAKING MOVES in NFL free agency
Q: What did you think about the James Pierre signing, and how does it fit into the current cornerback situation?
Pierre brings affordable depth with proven special-teams value and solid coverage metrics from last season. He should start as depth initially but could shift to a starting boundary role with Byron Murphy inside, addressing the cornerback room's weaknesses and complementing Brian Flores' system.
Minnesota Vikings MAKING MOVES in NFL free agency
Q: What are your thoughts on Eric Wilson's three-year, $22.5 million deal with $12.5 million guaranteed?
I thought it was a solid, two-year equivalent in value that still leaves room to address the linebacker spot later in the draft. It reduces urgency for an immediate, high-cost upgrade and fits the scheme well, especially with Wilson's core special-teams value and attacking style.
NFL Draft comps for best Minnesota Vikings fits
Q: Can you discuss some edge rushers from rounds three to five that could be valuable?
Thor mentioned several players and noted the trend that valuable edge rushers could come from those rounds, emphasizing the potential for hidden gems.
NFL Draft comps for best Minnesota Vikings fits
Q: What are your thoughts on the comparisons between Emmett Johnson and Bucky Irving?
Leighton noted that both players are similarly sized and faced similar questions regarding their ability to withstand hits and perform as a bell cow in the NFL, suggesting good parallels.
