Countdown to the 2026 NFL Draft: 3 more days!
Vikings Discussion & Random Thoughts
Three more days until the circus arrives! Also, happy 420 to those who celebrate. I know I will sleep well tonight.
No idea what the Vikings are going to do this year with the draft. I am still just thankful it will be different with no Kwesi around.
Show us your mocks! I paid no attention to college football until the playoffs, so I know almost nothing. I will still probably yell at the TV several times Thursday night, since that is a thing I do.
Timberwolves and Wild both in the playoffs, for people that watch things in between the NFL season…
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.
Well, looks like I’m officially visiting little Somalia, I mean Minnesota, this summer. That should be fun.
Be careful… stay safe.
RIP, we will pray for you and your family.
Been seeing a lot of hogwash about war crimes being spewed by folks who are under informed, or purposefully lying in regards to Trump’s intentions on destroying bridges and power plants in Iran.
Attacking power infrastructure and bridges and such most certainly can qualify as a war crime. But, in order to confirm that, the first step would be to demonstrate each and every one of the incidents was not an attack directed at a military objective. As the DoD Law of War Manual indicates on the subject, “If an object is a military objective, it is not a civilian object and may be made the object of attack”. Throughout history, attacking bridges and power infrastructure has always been a military objective, in every armed conflict. So, the war crimes bit isn’t real. It’s a false commentary being propagated to cast doubt on, and impede the military and the President, by political forces aligned against them. That’s all.
hogwash is in plentiful supply these days…..
Indeed
Weird week for me. Every year for the past maybe 25 years I get really into the NFL draft. I look at mocks and watch film. I set aside the (now) 3 days of the draft to watch it and analyze it.
This year…..nothing. I have cared nothing about it at all. I haven’t looked at a single mock. I don’t know any of the players. I don’t think I’ll even watch the draft (but I wouldn’t be surprised if I cave).

I may be two on the defensive side they really want to be available at 18. But most mocks have them gone…
Greenard for #54??
Not a 1st Rounder but close.

mondays are way better than tuesdays…
i’ll fight you on this.
I’m retired. Every day is Saturday.
I keep thinking it is Saturday and I am wrong 6 out of 7 times a week. #grin
Hey NLNV, tried out the “shoulder turn chip” yesterday.
Overall for first time trying it seemed helpful. As Phil says you still need to use your wrists with shoulder turn…right away I wasn’t really doing that but I got the hang of it. Works pretty well for me from the 5 to 30 yard range. Those really tight chips are still a problem for me.
Booked an 85….good score for first time out. BUT they had all the par 3 tees at the front of the ladies boxes, which certainly helps. Excited to go again today.
Nice. Glad to hear it helped. I also say “Alabama” in my head on pretty much all my shots, including chips and putts. It keeps me in the same rhythm for every shot, and also takes my mind off other things. Be relaxed, swing in rhythm, and focus on your target. Those elements are important.
I cant remember what day it is, nor do i care
The Cards are paying Murray $35.5M this year and are scheduled to pay Brissett $4.88M for being their starting QB. Brissett said ‘Uh, No’ and is starting a holdout by not attending their offseason workout program. Is QB in the ‘Cards’ for Arizona this draft??

OK… a TE? With our first pick?
Some think he is ‘all that’ and would be worth it. I believe there will be better options for us but of course I have no idea what the current braintrust has in mind. They did bring him in for a Top 30 visit recently so maybe.
I hope not
According to some people could be Ham’s replacement, line up in the slot as a wide reciever 3, be part of a 3 tight end alignment where the defence didn’t know if he was in to run block, pass block, or be a relief valve. Very fast with lots of YAC in college.
6’3″ and 241 lbs. Runs a 4.39 forty. Hmmmm…
Ham’s replacement???????
If the TE is a Kelcie level talent that I am good with it.
Well… OK
Not a bad depth option, he knows the system and Flo knows what he has in him.
Yeah, I don’t know. He earned a 45.1 overall PFF defensive grade in the 2025 season, 77th among 88 qualified linebackers. His coverage grade of 29.9 ranked 85th among 88 qualified linebackers. His run-defense grade of 56.2 ranked 70th at the position. His pass-rush grade of 72.5 ranked 16th among qualified linebackers though. He recorded 32 solo tackles on the season, and he generated 14 total pressures including 1 sack as a blitzer. He allowed a 121.8 passer rating when targeted in coverage, which is bad.
Overall IMO he’s pretty much a one trick pony on defense, as a blitzer.
Good morning all… and SKOL.
Here’s a riddle to get your brains going.
When you need me, you throw me away
But when you’re done with me, you bring me back
Correct! I was thinking GF might get this one first.
