That draft looked really good, for trading out of rd 1
Nobody would give two shits about CJ Ham if he weren't from Minnesota. Frankly I don't give a shit I would cut his ass! Spending that much money on a fullback that has never made a pro bowl is insane. There's only like 6 fullbacks in the NFL and he still has never even made a pro bowl. Massively overrated in Vikings land!
Jeanty will be a superstar!
Give me a FA (A Jones), Raheim “Rocket” Sanders in the 3rd or 4th and two UDFA to battle it out
Thorsdays are the best. SKOL boys.
Treyveon Henderson
HOT TAKE ALERT!! We're all sitting here talking about how the Eagles hoisted the Lombardi trophy because of their stout Defensive and Offensive lines, but what if KOC saw something else? What if he saw the threat of Saquon keeping the Chiefs defense honest? What if they actually signed Diet Saquon? Najee Harris anyone?
I think Pookie Williams fits the Kwesi mold. OTC projects him under $4 million. He's 25 years old, 5'10", 220 and can pass block and catch.
A Corner known as a "Seatbelt", 2 Running backs, 2 D-Linemen and 2 O-Linemen? Checks all the boxes, even if we didn't sign any outside free agents. This draft with Murphy, Bynum, Hitman and Akers back would be a solid outcome.
Tuesday blue print will feature aaron rodgers or sam darnold
I like what the Vikings do with UDFA's and free agents. But the idea of us counting on a rookie to start or even contribute seems unlikely if past performance is indicative of future results.
Kwesi aThorfo-Mensah
Sampson is RB2 in the draft. Crazy yall never consider him
How do you ppl watch skataboo and continually choose Kaleb Johnson is beyond me
Really fun mock drafts having Thor on! It's nice having someone really plugged in to College ball giving insight, especially as we get in to the deep day 2 and day 3 rounds.
Love me some Thorsday!
I LOVE THORSDAY!!!
Thor really knows how to get a group going.
Love the draft!
Keep scrolling down for us Phil! Thor has spoken!
Cam skadaboo
13:28 Thor spilling his drink had me laughing for no reason😂
OL is top priority over cb and rb
Can’t win big playoff games with a shaky oline
Kaleb Johnson would look great in Purple
Listen. We need a RB. Noted. But whats the use if our OL still sucks? Its very simple people. A great running back does nothing, if he is getting hit behind the line or at the line of scrimmage. To have a good running game every running back just wants one thing " get me to the LOS untouched and Ill do my thing! Any good RB is useless until we get an OL that has already pulled their head out of their a..! Just like our QB's- as great as they thought they were, you cant do sh.. if, as soon as you touch the ball, youre running for your life. I pray you get JJ a front line–to prove my point we already got JJ jacked up. Thanks front line. Blah blah blah
If Judkins or Henderson is still available in the 2nd round, I would draft him.
Buckeye center red flags: Mcgloughlin is only 305 lbs and he has trouble with his shotgun snaps. A real issue for the offense in several games.
CB O'Donnell Fortune is there.
Just catching up. Thor knows all. The Iowa RB is the real deal and the talk of LaVeonne Bell comparison is accurate as he is an Iowa coach too. FOOOOTBALL!
Thorsday FTW!
