@Skol_Doc Yeah me too, especially for a more veteran quarterback

I’m fine with Brandel at center tbh

@VikingKing888 @SeanBormanNFL He quite literally started last year after never playing center. Maybe let him train it for a while

@SeanBormanNFL You really going to say that with a straight face that any of these guys are capable of starting week 1? Give me a break. Brandel is a backup at best.

The Vikings have plenty of options at center right now: 1️⃣ Blake Brandel 2️⃣ Michael Jurgens 3️⃣ Gavin Gerhardt 4️⃣ Vershon Lee 5️⃣ Delby Lemieux Who’s your C1? What do you want this depth chart to look like by Week 1? 👇

@TylerTalksBall Deion Burks is still available. He would be a dynamic #3 with YAC ability

With Skyler Bell off the board, I'd be shocked if the Vikings go WR in the 5th round. Jeff Caldwell is far too raw to be a WR3, and the rest of Minnesota's visits with receivers are 7th round/UDFA guys. CJ Daniels in the 7th is the move, and you go out and sign De'Andre Hopkins.

@FBallAnalysisYT Fascinating that Hecht and Emmitt Johnson are still available at the end of the 4th. Surely there is info that teams have that we don’t?

I want to see how this ages over the next few years specifically for my own draft evaluations and also to see how these picks would age if I were a GM making the picks The Vikings selected Caleb Banks in the first round and Domonique Orange in the third round and I can see the vision with these players. I love the concept of getting bigger in the trenches and being the more physically dominant team For the sake of this, I will keep those selections and discuss the other selections in the top 100 At pick 51 where the Vikings selected Jake Golday I would have selected Emmanuel McNeil-Warren At picks 97 and 98 I would have selected Emmett Johnson and Sam Hecht rather than Caleb Tiernan and Jakobe Thomas The goal of this is to see how this ages over the next few years and see how these players pan out Whenever you criticize a teams selections as an analyst there’s usually a lot of pushback along the lines of “imagine thinking you know more than an NFL team” and I don’t claim to know more than anybody - I just want to see how this specifically ages over the next few years with what I personally would have done if I were in the GM’s chair

@2HighCoverage You and I see Faulk the exact same. His sack cut-ups are horrendous, lots of extended plays and other players pushing the quarterback his way. Absolutely no pass rush bag

Worst picks of R1: 1. Jeremiyah Love at 3 2. David Bailey at 2 3. Keldric Faulk at 31 4. Jadarian Price at 32

@TheBrohioan Vikings seem interested in WR CJ Daniel’s. He was a top 30 visit. Idk much about him

Players left on the board at each position I wouldn't mind seeing the Vikings grab. QB: Garrett Nussmeir- LSU Cole Payton- NDSU Taylen Green- Arkansas RB: Jonah Coleman- Washington Emmett Johnson- Nebraska Nick Singleton- Penn St Mike Washington Jr- Arkansas Demond Claiborne- WF Eli Heidenreich- Navy WR: Elijah Sarratt- Indiana Bryce Lance- NDSU Kevin Coleman- Missouri Cyrus Allen- Cincy Jeff Caldwell- Cincy TE: Justin Jolly- NCST Joe Royer- Cincy Michael Trigg- Baylor Tanner Koziol- Houston John Michael Gyllenborg- Wyoming Tackle: Drew Shelton- Penn St Jude Bowry- Boston College Fa'alili Fa'amoe- Wake Forrest Guard: Beau Stephens-Iowa Brian Parker II- Duke Fernando Carmona- Arkansas Jeremiah Wright- Auburn Center: Connor Lew- Auburn Sam Hecht- Kansas State Pat Coogan- Indiana Matt Gulbin- Michigan State Parker Brailsford- Alabama Edge: Caden Curry- Ohio State Dani Denis-Sutton- Penn St Tyreak Sapp- Florida Honestly there's still a ton of DT I like at this point but we already grabbed two I'm not even opposed to grabbing another. Fuck it LB: Kyle Louis- Pittsburgh Harold Perkins- LSU Justin Jefferson- Alabama Eric Gentry- USC CB: Jermod McCoy- Tennessee Keionte Scott- Miami Devin Moore- Florida Keith Abney- Arizona State Charles Demmings- SFA Ephesians Prysock- Washington Andre Fuller- Toledo Thaddeus Dixon- UNC Safety: Zakee Wheatley- Penn State Jalon Kilgore- South Carolina VJ Payne- Kansas State Genesis Smith- Arizona Kamari Ramsay- USC Michael Taafe- Texas

@retro_minnesota @KaprizovTruther @BigDuke50 @MitchSchwartz71 You’re the same kinda guy who screams “BPA” and then complains when they actually do

Tiernan reminds me a ton of @MitchSchwartz71 Good pick for Vikings

@KalebNFL Maybe he’s supposed to be a swing guard with tackle flexibility in emergency situations? If Brandel is starting center it certainly would be a need

Why are we drafting depth tackle at 97?

@DustBaker Go get Trey Benson!

Vikings need to send their 5th-Rounder to CLE for Jerry Jeudy.

@Krauserrific This is blatantly taken out of context. It clearly says they need to hit on day 2 picks

NFL insider Matt Miller, 3 days ago: "the Vikings will target players with higher college production over potential or traits" Vikings actual board at 18: Kenyon Sadiq: freak athlete, 869 career receiving yards Caleb Banks: freak athlete, 6.5 sacks over 5 years in college

@CoachVass Can’t believe it’s still Thieneman to the Vikings 😭

One of my favorite parts of the draft is looking at the mock drafts done the day after the previous year’s draft. Enjoy!

@whoknowsvikes Lukewarm take

@CooperMack55237 It’s definitely not a widespread take

My hot take for tonight - Jadarian Price is going in the first round

@kap62033 @WillRagatz Didn’t they say they were going to prioritize production in the middle and late rounds?

@WillRagatz It just goes against what they said their process was going to emphasize this year-production vs upside. He obviously has a high ceiling but does not have production. He had flashes in 24 and was hurt most of 25. We will hope for the best but they didn’t do what they said.

The risk level is elevated, for sure. No question about that. But Caleb Banks has size and athletic tools that simply cannot be taught. If he’s healthy and reaches his ceiling, he has game-wrecker potential.

@42Cyc This tweet is bound to age poorly

Players I would have taken over Caleb Banks: - Makai Lemon - Dillon Thieneman - Jermod McCoy - Emmanuel McNeil-Warren - Peter Woods - Lee Hunter - Christen Miller - Kayden McDonald - Omar Cooper Jr - KC Concepcion - Jacob Rodriguez - Colton Hood - Chris Johnson - Avieon Terrell

@JoshNorris Patriots

Where’s the best, most realistic fit for George Pickens

@rodgers_isaiah So not Jermod McCoy. Got it

👀 Who we Drafting .... hint : they played college ball last year, they will be a Viking next year and they will be drafted. That's all i got for yall

@FBallAnalysisYT Rahsul Faison is a starting running back in the NFL

What is your hottest take pertaining to the 2026 NFL draft? I want to revisit this in a few years and see how the takes age I’ll start: Kevin Coleman from Missouri is going to be one of the bigger steals from the class

@Pie_in_a_can Simms is way higher on this DT class then most. He likes McDonald more than Kenneth Grant, for example, who went higher than 18

Kayden McDonald at 18 is pretty much the same ideology as Donovan Jackson at 24. Good players, position of need, but probably a reach considering the value of what else is available I don't like it. This is a pick Kwesi would make. There are better players on the board

@iAmNickWize @CSimmsQB @SNFonNBC @rotoworld @NBCSports It’s a pretty flat draft class so trade premiums might be lower

@CSimmsQB @SNFonNBC @rotoworld @NBCSports There is no way on earth you really think there will be this many trades on draft night.

My first & only mock draft. This is where I think players WILL go, not where they SHOULD go.
