@PhilMackey Or.. hear me out. Lifelong Vikings fan Carson Wentz, who has been a bit of an NFL journeyman, spent a year in Minnesota with their A+ graded facilities and staff and decided he liked where he was. Probably didn’t hurt that the other 2 QBs on the roster have cause for concern 🤷🏻‍♂️

Carson Wentz's last two seasons: 2023 -- QB2 for Matthew Stafford (Nov-Jan) 2024 -- QB2 for Patrick Mahomes 2025 -- QB2 turned starter for 5 games in MN. Threw for 300+ twice. Posted a slightly below average passer rating. You think he's signing as QB3 on March 19? 🤔 Nah. Wentz was almost certainly told he's QB2 over JJ McCarthy. Otherwise, he would have surveyed the QB landscape until summer like he did last year. McCarthy is almost certainly QB3 now.

@vikingzfanpage @alec_lewis @TheAthletic I think this went out the window when they brought back Jones

What do you think of this mock trade by @alec_lewis in his recent mock draft: #Vikings receive: No. 11 (select Jeremiyah Love) #Dolphins receive: No. 18, a 2027 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick (Via @TheAthletic)

First was without trades, here are 2 with trades. Things I’ve noticed, clearly I think the secondary is the biggest need and I really want a tall, long corner

Mock Draft SZN #Skol

@MikeCastellino The only thing that makes me nervous and maybe I’m wrong but having a 6’7 center and a 5’9 QB seems like a bad idea

I've given it alot of thought I think Blake Brandel being our starting next center is absolutely fine look at his PFF grades compared to the Super Bowl teams starting centers last season......... #Skol

@SleeperVikings @MelKiperESPN Harri paved the way for Dillon, it was written in the stars or something.. idk it’s just meant to be 😂

Another day, another mock draft making Dillon Thieneman a Minnesota Viking. This one comes from @MelKiperESPN’s latest work.

@thorku Colby at 11 is the steal of the draft imo

Any Survivor fans in the chat? This morning, the girlfriend and I did a snake draft of the remaining 20 contestants. Winner take all. Whose roster do you like more?

@VikingsSheep Not giving up, making the best of bad roster construction

Explain to me in less than 10 words why you are okay giving up on a 23 year old QB

@612yo @TylerTalksBall This thread started about the 18 pick, I was just connecting the dots 😂 glad you don’t

@mitchmac2012 @TylerTalksBall Come on man….. Don’t be disrespectful. You really think I want fucking Michael Trigg at 18?

Hot take: I think the #Vikings should draft a WR at 18 overall. 1. None of the available safeties are 1st round talents. 2. Neither are any of the centers. 3. The two 1st round DTs (Peter Woods, Caleb Banks) aren't good at stopping the run. 4. Kyler needs a big-bodied WR3.

@612yo @TylerTalksBall Id love that in the the 4th or 5th round, certainly not at 18

@mitchmac2012 @TylerTalksBall We’re on the same page with Sadiq. Give me Michael Trigg.

@612yo @TylerTalksBall I’m optimistic that Kyler’s style of play will result in a bounce back for Hock. But I’m positive that Kenyon Sadiq at 18 would be a Troy Williamson/LaQuon Treadwell type bust of a pick. The type of pick that costs people their jobs

@mitchmac2012 @TylerTalksBall We’ll see. He looked bad last year. Not too sure we’ll see a bounce back but hope he does

@612yo @TylerTalksBall Statistics say otherwise. He only played in 15 games, and surprisingly had his highest YAC/R of his time in Minne last year. The real difference was his target number, he’s averaged around 100 per year and only had 66 in 2025 because he was being asked to help cover Justin Skule

@mitchmac2012 @TylerTalksBall We saw a healthy Hock last year. A Hock that has ZERO YAC ability and honestly sadly a guy who looks like he doesn’t want to get hit anymore after what Kirby Joseph did to him.

@612yo @TylerTalksBall A healthy Hock is still a weapon

@TylerTalksBall Kyler needs a TE.

@TylerTalksBall @SamWGPG I disagree, I think this is the weakest WR class in recent memory. Tate and Tyson are the only round 1 guys in my eyes, and neither of them is an elite prospect. Would much rather “reach” for Thieneman at 18 than Boston. Rather sign Kirk anyways

@SamWGPG I'm big on Denzel Boston and I think he's a 1st round WR.

@Bones566319932 @MarkPotash Agreed should be based on the population of the city you are in not the school’s enrollment. Chicago Marshall winning a 1A title is flat out wrong

@MarkPotash No Chicago school should be playing in 1A or 2A.

Not sure if this is what proponents of the four-class system had in mind when they pushed that format through in 2006: Former Class AA schools won all four titles this year: Marshall (1A), Peoria Manual (2A), East St. Louis Sr. (3A) and Marist (4A). 🤔

Unpopular opinion, but there’s no good reason for a Chicago school to be 1A

@nickimoraa Save the speech for truancy court

Schools need to be reminded that PARENTS have the ultimate authority over their children, if I don’t want my child there that day, THAT IS AN EXCUSED ABSENCE! Because I excused it, I don’t need permission from a doctor, a superintendent, or nobody for that matter. I’ll take them out of that school as quickly as I put them into it. If I want my child to be home, or I feel they need a break, or I want to take them on a trip. You can send their work home for the week. I think what children are learning at home, and outside of the classroom is equally as important as the fundamentals. I’m not going to surrender my children’s youth & their most influential years entirely to a school system! If they can’t accommodate that then so be it, I can teach my children how to read, and write & how to do math myself! The only benefit of a classroom is the interaction with other children & teachers, but as soon as that becomes contrary or in opposition to what I am teaching my children, or desire for them, It’s time for homeschooling! Don’t send me letters about attendance, or anything else for that matter! The school will never determine or dictate my children’s schedule. Because THEY are on MINE!

@Yfz84 Hope he’s back as the 3rd guy and Brosmer kicks rocks

In lieu of Kyler showing up to play for his favorite team, let us not forget that Carson Wentz almost died for Minnesota last season fighting for his childhood team. SKOL. Do this for Carson

@TylerTalksBall I bought a jersey.. still get disappointed every time I see it. I’ve never been more wrong

@TheRealForno This is the kind of draft that will get the house cleaned.. was that the goal? Do you not like KOC?
