@alec_lewis I'll never be against taking players to solidify the trenches. Its how you win games. Offense and defensive lines win championships. Period. Hopefully his health is good.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said DL coach Ryan Nielsen spent time with Caleb Banks in Gainesville with Caleb Banks. KOC said the team spent a lot of time going through the medicals.

Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell on Caleb Banks at No. 18: "Really felt like we were able to identify a player with a ceiling of a top-10 caliber talent. ... Wanted to add size and youth to that defensive line."

@TypicalVikings @alec_lewis I’m a Gator alum/Vikings fan and that’s a terrrrrible pick. I would’ve rather picked Sapp off that d line than banks and Sapp is probably a 4th rounder
English
@alec_lewis Go watch Floridas defense with and without him.. I’m a gators fan when he was missing defense didn’t exist when you was on the field Florida played at a high level
English
I had one person who worked at Florida in 2025 say succinctly today: "Unicorn. ... He hasn't put it all together, but if he does..." The Vikings had a major DT need. Maybe the biggest. This is a big, big swing.
Alec Lewis@alec_lewis
Surprise! The Vikings are taking Florida DT Caleb Banks at No. 18.

Kyler Murray said he cried real tears the day Brett Favre through the INT. Has had purple in the household. Been a fan since he started playing at 7 years old.

This was well done by Rob B.
This was a tricky situation that reached a fair conclusion for both sides.
Ian Rapoport@RapSheet
The #Vikings and TE T.J. Hockenson have agreed to terms on a restructured contract to keep him in Minnesota, per me and @TomPelissero. He had a $21.3M cap number and this saves about $5M in space. Interim GM Rob Brzezinski and team have been clearing space and getting to a good spot by Monday.

@Wolfmantula @thorku *a lot. He’s a great talent but doubt he makes it through his rookie contract with his feet issues
English
@thorku Him leaving the combine early for foot discomfort worries me a little
English
@FBallAnalysisYT Every single throw was to where he was looking when he got the ball. Watched him in person play Florida from end zone seats and same thing happened. Knew he’d be a bust. Great physical talent but couldn’t read the field at all

I know things didn’t work out in the NFL (obviosuly), but this is what true raw natural arm strength looks like

Jamarcus Russell vs. Mississippi State (2006): 18-20, 330 yards, 3 TD 🐐

@hooper2U @WillRagatz I agree he wasn’t great but he did more than your QB did at 10% of the cost
English
J.J. McCarthy: "I'm happy that we got the win, but I'm not proud (of my performance), to be honest with you. There's a lot of meat on the bone. I feel like I could've played a lot better."
English
@vikingzfanpage @NextGenStats Getting AVG back was huge so Turner didn’t have to play so much. Hargrave showed up for the first time since Week 1 too. Season is just starting if they keep this up
English
#Lions QB Jared Goff when pressured today, per @NextGenStats:
• 6/15 Passing
• 71 Yards
• 5 Sacks
Goff has been pressured on 52.6% of his drop backs, which is a season high.

@TPPSkol @BreezeKing14 @Vikings That’s not how good drafting works. Could’ve potentially got a 1st from Atlanta and instead they drafted a low premium position. Brandel was fine when Darrisaw was healthy
English
Kevin O’Connell wasn’t kidding after the Rams playoff loss.
The @Vikings really replaced their entire interior OL in one offseason.
Wild 🤯
English
@WillRagatz If so, they really fuckt up. But my guess is the Giants felt more comfortable trading out of conference
English
Have to assume Vikings could've done this same trade but opted for Jackson instead.
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
ESPN Sources: 🏈Giants get pick No. 25 🏈Texans get pick No. 34, pick No. 99 and a 2026 3rd-round pick.
English
The Vikings are taking Ohio State OL Donovan Jackson at No. 24.
English
@DustBaker No way. See what Hall has and if he sux (which is probable) draft someone with the first rounder. All of the sudden Drake Maye is back in play
English
if kirk's injury is grim, no joke, you have to at least give Brady a jingle
just to make sure
English
@WillRagatz Too bad it happened after 4 wins. He’s a good guy and a decent QB but the Vikings need to move on from the mediocrity since he’s been in Minny

Thanks Joey. This story will appear in Sunday’s @TB_Times and all these folks are inspirational. Please consider organ donation. You could save and change a life.

I used the consensus board to grade team draft classes, which clearly means I think it's infallible -- just like anyone who is arrogant enough to have opinions on players
Arif Hasan, but NFL 🏈@ArifHasanNFL

@DHunt94_TX You da man! Consistently the best player on the team. Proud you’re on my team

@ArifHasanNFL Once again Hunter with the big play. Him and Kendricks are the only guys on D who have showed up consistently this year
