Countdown to the 2026 NFL Draft: 5 more days!
Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
I know the TV show that is the NFL draft is silly, but I will still watch it. I am curious to see who makes the worst moves this year. Always some entertaining takes, and none of it matters until the players hit the field and you really find out what you have.
Speaking of finding out what you have, the Vikings have either Fragile McPonder or JJ McGoat as a QB on a rookie deal. He could also be JJ McAverage like Kirko. God I hope that is not the case. He needs more playing time in order to either praise or condemn that draft pick. 10 starts is not a career. I fully expect he will play more in the preseason unless he gets hurt again. I expect Murray to start the season as QB 1 if he is able to read and understand the playbook. I am not convinced he will put in the effort, but maybe getting paid over 30 million dollars to go away will motivate him. It should be an interesting off season for certain.
Thread Guidelines
- Keep politics to a minimum. We are adults, news happens, and we can talk about it. What we don’t want is to go down rabbit holes and turn a productive conversation into name calling and personal attacks.
- Be respectful and civil. You don’t need to agree with everyone, you also don’t need to make it personal. Attack the argument, not the poster.
- Keep the NSFW language/pictures to a minimum. We don’t want anyone getting in trouble at work for hanging out here.
- To summarize, behave like adults. Treat each other with respect, and things will be fine. Mods will take out content they feel is pushing the boundary. If you want to reach out about something, please do. We want to have robust discussions, that’s why we’re here, just be civil.
- Twitter sized version: Be cool to one another.
A new thread, right after i posted words of wisdom on the old one…
The Dem’s are telling everyone that Trump has no plan, doesn’t know what he’s doing, and is making everything worse. This shows everyone just how big a lie that is. Trump is a brilliant Global strategist.
The United States signed a defense agreement with Morocco yesterday, which concerns the Strait of Gibraltar (the gateway between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic).
Thus, in just over a year, the United States has fully controlled the world’s four major maritime chokepoints:
Gibraltar
Malacca
Hormuz
Panama
I don’t need to spell it out—everyone can see this is a carefully orchestrated strategy, and it feels a bit more reliable than the Belt and Road Initiative.
The Woke Dims are just throwing talking points against the wall to see what sticks.
Their base does not care about facts just feeding their TDS.
They are using ‘Strategic Ignorance’ to muddy the waters, play dumb about how the world works in order to further their narrative. Just like they say ‘DJT is not going after the worst of the worst’ while failing to mention that they are shielding the criminals with Blue City policies and sending agitators and ‘useful idiots’ to block ICE. Then they claim it is all Trumps fault for trying to deport Rapist/Killers/Drug Dealers/Pedophiles. All in the pursuit of votes, pretty sickening.
They are insidious liars, working hard to get themselves elected into positions of power. They are a true threat to this country. They are very, very dangerous people. Same with the Muslims. The country is under attack from two very evil forces.
Agree that the Vikings need to get a WR in the draft and they have met with several already, reportedly up to 12 of them. But the highest rated one is WR Ted Hurst (#77) (Top 30 & Pro Day). So mocking the 28th rated WR Denzel Boston at #18 seems a bit of a stretch. Now if he managed to hold on until #49 it would make more sense.

Now I do mocks for entertainment and to learn a bit about the players, but I do realize that while I can speculate I know nothing about what KOC and FLO consider the best player for their schemes, and the team needs. But at least I will go into draft weekend being not quite as clueless as I am in most things.
Why do we need a WR?
Happy Saturday Skolos….
30 years ago today Nebraska quarterback Brook Berringer died in a plane crash – 2 days before he was expected to be drafted into the NFL.
Size, speed, accuracy and a strong arm – I’m convinced he would’ve had a 10+ year career. On top he was a world class dude. There’s a book by Arthur Lindsay – ‘One Final Pass’ that details Brook’s life. Worth the read.
RIP
