Locked On Vikings - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Vikings

On today's show, we'll talk about the Mike Hughes trade and how we got here. Hughes and a 7th round pick heads to Kansas City for a 6th round pick. It's tiny competition, so it bears reflecting on how we got here with Hughes' career in purple. Then, we'll talk to Candace Cooper of Locked On ACC for the 3rd time this week, as well as Jay Stephens of Locked On Buckeyes for a conversation about Wyatt Davis that will make you drool.

On today's show, we'll quickly run through the schedule and the intrigues that lie within. But for most of the show, let's break down Patrick Jones II. He's a tall edge rusher that gets off the snap quickly, but can't consistently find away to convert that into a win. Against the run, however, is where the optimism kicks in.

Starting the show by chatting with Candace Cooper of Locked On ACC (and formerly Locked On Tar Heels) about new Vikings linebacker Chazz Surratt. He's got a lot of chops in coverage, and can do some pretty useful and unique things. But his lack of physicality is just too much for me. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On the last show for a week, we'll talk about the Vikings declining Mike Hughes' 5th year option, the UDFA class, and some overall thoughts on the class.

Day 3 of the draft is in the books, and the Vikings have six new players to talk about. RB Kene Nwangwu is a one-cut speedster. CB Camryn Bynum is an instinctive ball-jumper who will move to safety. DE Janarius Robinson is a traits-y prospect that never came together in college. WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette is a gadget player with home run speed. TE Zach Davidson is a crazy raw upside prospect who moonlights as a punter. And DL Jaylen Twyman is a wannabe Aaron Donald who bulked up too much in his opt-out year.

The Vikings took four players on day 3, all of them in the 3rd round. QB Kellen Mond out of Texas A&M makes as much sense as any quarterback, but he has some flaws that concern me greatly. LB Chazz Surratt out of North Carolina has high upside I suppose, but needs to be constructed from the ground up. OL Wyatt Davis out of Ohio State made the night worth it, he's one of my favorite prospects in the whole day. And Patrick Jones, the edge rusher out of Pittsburgh seems like his ceiling just isn't high enough for what the Vikings need at their pass rush.

Draft day opened with an impressive Aaron Rodgers saga that was fun to watch from afar. Then, the Vikings opened their night by trading down with the Jets to pick 23. They got picks 66 and 86, and sent pick 143 back to the Jets. They now have four 3rd round picks. The main event was their selection at pick 23, which was Christian Darrisaw, the left tackle out of Virginia Tech. We'll talk about what he does well, what concerns surround him and how the Vikings should approach the rest of the weekend.

On today's show, we're going over the NFL draft offensive linemen.
