JJ and Fortnite.
Vikings’ WR Justin Jefferson will be the first NFL player featured in the Fortnite video game. Fortnite is implementing Jefferson’s Griddy dance into the video game.

LAC spilled the beans, and it probably means they’re grabbing a left tackle.

Arif mock.
What's an "availability matrix" and how would it help drafting? idk I made it up for this attempt at a seven round mock draft https://t.co/Byz3z8ig3j

More Jordan Reid-PA collaboration.
Excited for #92Noon this week. We start in five minutes with @Jordan_Reid of @TheDraftNetwork and hit on the #Vikings offense and what’s needed. The 915 seg w/ the learned JReid focuses on the Purple and defense.

Well, maybe Lance won’t be there for MIN.
As the #49ers close in on their decision of which QB to take at No. 3, sources say they are down to two prospects — and the belief is those two are #Bama QB Mac Jones and #NDSU QB Trey Lance. Several sources say the focus does appear to have shifted to those two.

Pat Pete didn’t have to buy out any jersey inventory like Dalvin, Dantzler, or JJ.
Patrick Peterson is going to wear No. 7 on the Vikings
He’s bringing it back to the LSU days

The shortlist from a fan.
If the #Vikings stay at 14, there are only 4 names I would expect to see:
Darrisaw
AVT
Phillips

Stanley gets #14.
The #Vikings have announced that Nate Stanley will now be wearing the #14, which I'm sure everyone on Vikings Twitter will be just fine with.

Remmers hate.
Mike Remmers has gotten 3 QBs killed recently.
Cam Newton, Kirk Cousins & Patrick Mahomes.
Nobody escapes the wrath of Mike Remmers on the O-line.

Three days.

The receipts from Pellisero.
Several teams have been making calls about getting into the top 10 of next week’s NFL Draft — including the #Patriots, who could have their eyes on Ohio State QB Justin Fields if he begins to slide. @gmfb @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/GjJazJXZQp

Wonnum’s athleticism.
DJ Wonnum's been posting training videos of him predominantly rushing from LDE. Foreshadowing a move of Danielle Hunter to RDE aka The Blindside?
There is precedent. When Everson missed time in 2018, they kicked 99 to RDE and played Weatherly at LDE. Could see more in 2021. pic.twitter.com/daPktc3NH5

The irony.
Vikings fans who don’t want AVT (LG/LT) (all pro potential at LG) yet who also constantly complain about the Vikings Oline pic.twitter.com/7F8wgH8PIT

Freakish DB-like skill from an EDGE rusher — often mocked to the Vikings.

Still interested in Fisher.

Ezra Cleveland-related humor.
Everyone wants to know what the Niners are doing at 3 and I'm just here trying to figure out if the Vikings are gonna move Ezra Cleveland to LT
— Benjamin Solak (@BenjaminSolak) April 26, 2021
Humor from brit.
sources close to the team say the Vikings may trade up, back, or stay at their current spot

LBs always.

A fan tapers excitement.
Vikings aren’t trading up for Rashawn Slater when AVT can be had at 14. Not a huge drop off in talent if any.
— Midwest_Football (@bigblanchette11) April 26, 2021
National account picks up the Vikings trade-up possibility.
Vikings could trade up from No. 14 if top tackles slide (per @TomPelissero)https://t.co/nsIosA4gD6 pic.twitter.com/lGlRZKZoGI

Siddiqui has thoughts on draft trades.
I’d rather the #Vikings trade down then up.
— Ali Siddiqui (@asiddiqui15) April 26, 2021
Renewed interest in CBs.
With Jeff Gladney's situation uncertain, #Vikings draft interest in cornerbacks perhaps has increased. On Gladney case, Dallas Police Sgt. Warren Mitchell said today no information has been released yet on him beyond April 5 statement confirming arrest: https://t.co/IVYvsHryIw

April 26th is a prized day for safeties.
April 26 has been a pretty good day for the #Vikings to draft safeties. On this day in 1983, they got Joey Browner in the first round with the No. 19 pick. On this day in 2012, they got Harrison Smith in the first round with the No. 29 selection.

Shanahan has grim view of an apparent apocalypse before Sunday.
.@Eric_Branch asks Shanahan if Jimmy G will be on the roster on Sunday. Kyle defers by saying any of us could die before then so ….
Dark, man.
