The NFL Draft is truly the greatest piece of reality television ever produced. I feel like this first round is going to be WILD tonight. You’ve got a lot of quarterbacks but don’t forget this class is also pretty deep at receiver. Teams are going to be making moves tonight.

[The Purple People Podcast 🏈 @PurplePeoplePod]

I love the ultra vague “rumors” about the Vikings QB position this time of year: “my sources tell me the Vikings will resign Kirk Cousins, unless they draft a rookie quarterback. But they could also keep Kirk and draft a rookie. Unless they don’t”

[Minnesota Vikings @Vikings]

Wishing Joshua Dobbs a happy birthday!! 🚀

Percy’s skill set was about 10 years to early for the NFL to fully utilize him. Also, didn’t help matters when he had Christian Ponder throwing him the ball in Minnesota. Harvin was an absolute beast when he was healthy, though.

percy harvin was deebo before deebo

[Paul Krause @PaulKrauseHOF]

It was yet another great season for Smith. He sure has kept the legacy of the purple #22 strong!

[The Purple People Podcast 🏈 @PurplePeoplePod]

@SKORNorth JJ is the top priority. They’ve got to take care of his contract first and then that will decide how much they’ve got left to spend on Kirk. Kirk is the one that is going to have to decide if he wants to take a discount to stick around in Minnesota.

Daunte Culpepper!

Also, RIP to anyone who answers “Christian Ponder”. I don’t know how you survived.

Who was the Quarterback for the #Vikings when you started watching? I’ll start…

Wade Wilson

[Star Tribune Sports @StribSports]

Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Wednesday that it's his intention to have Kirk Cousins back at quarterback. @BenGoessling provides the report:

@ProFootballTalk It’s interesting how the media wouldn’t stop sucking off Aaron Rodgers for all those years until he questioned some of the leagues COVID procedures. Now all of a sudden he’s public enemy number one. And this is coming from a Vikings fan.

[Andrew Krammer @Andrew_Krammer]

"You can't buy a spot out there. That's what makes it so special."

A final call will come in time. But a reflective Harrison Smith, after 175 starts for the Vikings, sounded like this might be it after Sunday's loss. https://t.co/5kDGF085ie

[The Purple People Podcast 🏈 @PurplePeoplePod]

@SKORNorth @Jason_Stormer @Ajae2k @AJ_FREDRICKSON Yes. And they would be better off taking a loss this Sunday, too. They need to let Kirk go to Atlanta and trade up to draft his replacement.

Vikings 2024 NFL draft scouting report: Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. https://t.co/GLycbbxHZa

[Jose_B_Snazzy @JoseSnazzy]

@JeffWaldFox9 Then you’re gonna love this guy JJ

[SKOR North - Minnesota Sports @SKORNorth]

How good would Michael Penix look leading the #Vikings offense.. 👀👀👀 #SKOL

[The Purple People Podcast 🏈 @PurplePeoplePod]

I’ve said this all season and a subset of Vikings fans (the Paul Allen cult) fail to grasp it but two things can be true at the same time:

It was the right decision to move on from Cook AND Mattison failed to perform at a high enough level.

[Rich Cimini @RichCimini]

The Jets paid Dalvin Cook a total of $6.7 million. That breaks down to $81,426 per "touch" (67 rushes + 15 catches). Another free-agent signing that didn't work out. #Jets

Gus Frerotte’s pass to Devin Aromashodu falls short and the Vikings turn over the football on downs.

[The Purple People Podcast 🏈 @PurplePeoplePod]

Gus Frerotte in at quarterback for the Vikings.

[The Purple People Podcast 🏈 @PurplePeoplePod]

@VikeFans Glad I’m not the only one thinking this. I won’t pretend to know what the correct answer was after Kirk went down but part of me still thinks they’d have been better off just riding out Josh Dobbs than whatever this mess has been.

[The Purple People Podcast 🏈 @PurplePeoplePod]

@skawdee I’d take the ghost of Brett Favre at half time over this mess.
