All the Vikings News: April 20
The following is news applicable to the Minnesota Vikings on April 20, 2021 — via tweet. This is updated throughout the day.
A Vikings draft mind breaks it down.
The Top 4 OL(Sewell, Slater, AVT, Darrisaw) are better than any edge rusher in this draft. I'd have Phillips as a top 12-15 player if not for the multiple concussions. Good chance at least one of these OL is on the board at #14. If all gone, trade down.

Rand Ball on gambling the Vikings wins over/under.
Would you bet all your money on #Vikings being winners or losers in 2021? The over/under on 2021 victories is currently 8.5 at one sports book, so that's what you'd be betting on. @RandBall writes: https://t.co/SVwUqkfjls

High praise from Rick Sosa.
Spielman is having arguably his best offseason as a Vikings GM in 2021.. 1st goal was improve the run defense & Tomlinson is just that.. 2nd improve the DB.. Peterson, Mack & Woods are just that.. the masterpiece will be complete with Brown, an elite Edge & a competent G #Vikings pic.twitter.com/y7MLDG8T4Y

Bunch of Vikings here.
3 of the top 8, and the top 2 ALL TIME were members of the Minnesota #Vikings. That's cool.
Also, Keith Millard is on this list if he doesn't get hurt. https://t.co/Bro7Ywlw3M

More Brown stuff.
Ravens fans are delusional in the comments.
No one is giving them what they think Brown is worth.
The Vikings, or any other team, aren’t giving up a pick that could yield a young OT on a cost controlled contract for 4-5 years to acquire Brown who needs to be paid next year. https://t.co/TgkxlpUGyq

Maybe, maybe not on Kendricks attending.
It remains to be seen if #Vikings LB Eric Kendricks will attend voluntary in-person workouts or not. Kendricks is the team's union rep and he also has a $100,000 workout bonus. He hasn't yet returned messages seeking comment on the offseason workout issue and hasn't tweeted on it

Weatherly’s stance.
DE Stephen Weatherly 2/2… " to provide for their family or standing in solidarity or guys choosing between going in for some of the best treatment available or standing in solidarity. We don’t want to put people in that bind.’’

Second Round Savants.
The #Vikings dont have a 2nd round pick currently, but I'm sure they'll trade for one. They've had very good ones lately too.
2011- Kyle Rudolph
2015- Eric Kendricks
2016- Mackensie Alexander
2017- Dalvin Cook
2018- Brian O'Neill
2019- Irv Smith Jr
2020- Ezra Cleveland— Ali Siddiqui (@asiddiqui15) April 19, 2021

Adam Patrick isn’t sold on Harris’ exodus as a big deal.
It's pretty annoying that the national media continues to point to the departure of Anthony Harris as a reason for why the #Vikings didn't improve this offseason
He had one good season
