NFL is stingy on this.
The NFL has not yet resolved the possible elimination of the one-helmet rule, which would open the door to a wide assortment of throwbacks and alternate helmets. https://t.co/t1exoUVzn5

A former Minnesota State football player believes — evidently — that Sewell will tumble down the board.
With the 14th pick in the draft, the Minnesota Vikings select, a tackle from Oregon…Penei Sewell. #skol

Darrisaw’s scouting report, and he should be there for the Vikings at #14.
"He looks like a future, long-time starting NFL tackle."

Support for a 1st-Round EDGE.
Wyatt Davis in Rd 2 would make a ton of sense if the Vikings went Edge in Rd 1 and believe Cleveland can play LT.

Dede is still out there.
I wonder if the #vikings will consider Dede Westbrook.
He missed 14 games last season with a torn ACL, but when healthy he’s a good WR and PR. pic.twitter.com/wVQkMgqj8v

Wolfson likes Stearns.
Have heard solid things about safety Caden Sterns. Pro Day #s were rock-solid. He was Big 12 Def. Freshman of the Year + 1st team All-Big 12 in 2018, battled some injuries thereafter, still produced. Has built a good bond w/ #Vikings DB coach Karl Scott. pic.twitter.com/KLAyBfgK3v

New Vikings linebacker is an outdoorsman. He’s gonna fit right in.
Nick loves the outdoors ? pic.twitter.com/ssYwoud06J

Vikings were unique here.
OK, your answer.
The Vikings faced Base 49% of the time and Nickel only 33%. They played a lot of 21 and 12 personnel.
The Titans faced Base and Nickel both 45% of the time because Derrick Henry.
All other NFL teams faced Nickel more than any other defensive personnel. https://t.co/UiTRILSbx9

We remember — and we were excited. Rightfully so.
Remember when we thought we'd see Danielle Hunter and Yannick Ngakoue on the same defensive line? ? pic.twitter.com/aY0fQSU83h

Zone Coverage enjoys Surratt.
Sage Surratt is a big, physical receiver who would be a perfect fit in the #Vikings WR corps, writes @PreetTheMeat. https://t.co/4eZw5k8lPS

Former Lions QB mentions MIN here.
Three teams that I could see “shocking” us and drafting a QB in round 1/early 2 like GB did last year/Bills/KC did a few years ago
Minn
