Droughts might end.
If you guys and gals are all correct about Paye or Vera-Tucker to the Vikings, droughts will end.
It's been 16 years since the Vikings drafted as EDGE rusher in the 1st Round. It's been 33 years since they chose a guard in Round 1. 😳

The Packers had the easiest road in 2020.
When it was all said and done in 2020, the Green Bay Packers had the easiest schedule in the NFL by the numbers.
Their opponents finished the season with a collective .428 win percentage.

No jersey number switch for JJ.
Count Vikings WR Justin Jefferson among those who won't be counting out a stack of cash to the NFL for the retail price of his current jerseys in No. 18. https://t.co/1hYDPeAMEV

Yesterday was the McDaniel draft-iversary.
The #Vikings 33 years ago today took Randall McDaniel in the first round of the NFL draft with the No. 19 pick. He went on to the Hall of Fame and remains the only guard they've ever taken in the first round in 60 drafts.

Fisher is unsigned.
Eric Fisher could possibly be back in August according to some reports. If this guy is going to be back sometime between August & October the Vikings should seriously consider this. He's a perfect scheme fit and a proven player.
I doubt they will do it though. https://t.co/yKNaIAtcbd

Robert Smith’s draft anniversary, too.
The #Vikings 28 years ago today in 1993 selected RB Robert Smith with the No. 21 pick in the first round of the NFL draft. He went on to become the leading rusher in team history with 6,818 yards before Adrian Peterson pushed him down to second place.

Ezra to LT gains legs.
Was listening to Wolfson's podcast and he said he would be surprised if the Vikings played Ezra at LT. Are they really going to do musical chairs with O'Neill at LT and Ezra either staying at RG or moving to RT?
