JJ by a mile says Baldinger.
.@Vikings @JJettas2 was the best rookie wide receiver in the #NFL in 2020 and it wasn’t close! He had 2 plans every play: one to win the route; and two, how he was going to win after the catch. An advanced student @Eagles #nfldraft #BaldysBreakdowns pic.twitter.com/BvxcujlATN

?26.8 points/game
?Never below 20 points
?Six QB1 (top 12) weeksGuaranteed 9 games/year indoors (which I like), he's a perfect QB2 in SF.

Cook probably going back to #4.
With the NFL's single-digit numbers rule having passed, we'll see if #Vikings RB Dalvin Cook looks to switch from No. 33 to the No. 4 he wore at Florida State. QB Sean Mannion, who remains unsigned, wore No. 4 last season for the Vikings.

This is will be warmly received. No sarcasm.
If I do change I’m willing to do a signing for anyone that purchased the #27 jersey ?

Doesn’t want a WR.
upon further review I am out on taking a WR on Day One (even if Waddle falls)…
unlike basically all positions of need in this class, WR has players that can be day 1 starters and future replacements with nearly equal "ceilings" as the top guys.

Cousins’ draft specs from nine years ago.
Kirk Cousins was drafted with pick 102 of round 4 in the 2012 draft class. He scored a 4.07 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 257 out of 432 QB from 1987 to 2012. https://t.co/WpKPTdOAkG pic.twitter.com/lcylzt97c0

How the Eagles do things.
Nick Sirianni said coaches are playing Rock, Paper, Scissors and Jeopardy against draft prospects. The objective is to gauge a prospect’s competitive spirit to determine how they’ll fit in the environment Sirianni is trying to create in Philly.

I can't even fathom how much Mike Zimmer probably loves Moehrig

This account dislikes Brady C.
I watched Brady Christensen to see what the deal was. Not impressed. When he went against legit competition like Payton Turner he got pushed around. 2 sacks given up, no push in the run. He looks good against nobody's though and tested well but IMO he's not someone I'd draft

AVT for Clare.
I currently want the Vikings to trade back and draft Alijah Vera-Tucker. I believe he will be a long-time impact guard that helps the team now more than anyone else positionally.
With that said. If a highly graded prospect falls to MN at OT, WR, or EDGE, you have to draft them! pic.twitter.com/LUMEijamyV

The House.
Which three players (in any round) would you like to see the #Vikings draft?
Here are a few fits from each range of the draft: Alijah Vera-Tucker, Osa Odighizuwa, Jonathan Adams Jr.

Wolfson calls this a dream scenario.
Agree big-time. Just tough to see that happening. One of his guys is now with LAC. Hard to see him falling below 13.

Numbers!
Here's all of the #Vikings jersey number news:
– Dalvin Cook is considering switching from 33 to 4 (per @christomasson), but he'd have to buy out the inventory
– Jefferson and Dantzler are staying at 18 and 27, respectively
– Hercules Mata'afa is officially going from 51 to 50— Will Ragatz (@WillRagatz) April 22, 2021
