Zaven Collins = Anthony Barr.
Zaven Collins ↔️ Anthony Barr
• HT: 6047 ↔️ 6047
• WT: 259 ↔️ 255
• 40: 4.67 ↔️ 4.66
• BJ: 10-2 ↔️ 9-11Lots of parallels between the two and an easy comp. to make based off of the tape. I see Collins as a SAM LB with EDGE versatility as well.

The Viking Age asks if perhaps Pitts is just a WR?
This isn’t a knock on his abilities, but is Kyle Pitts a revolutionary tight end or just an oversized WR?

Darren Wolfson [sort of] confirms.
TBD. But led to believe he’s been on their radar.

Will Ragatz writes about the possibility of trading up.
If Penei Sewell and/or Rashawn Slater start to slide in the first round, should the #Vikings trade up to grab one of them? And if so, how much would it cost?

Draft WRs to monitor.
The #Vikings will likely look to upgrade their receiving group during the 2021 NFL Draft. Which pass-catcher should be on Minnesota's radar? https://t.co/I5toM1EpKZ

The Vikings should encourage all teams to over-draft on QBs from picks 1 thru 13 as it will leave better non-QB players on the board at No. 14.
If I'm the Jets im trading back a few spots and taking Sewell in addition to more assets that can fix the many weaknesses on the team.
Instead they are likely just going to ruin another quarterback.

Woods contract stuff.
Specifics of safety Xavier Woods' #Vikings contract: One year, $1 million base salary, $500,000 signing bonus, $250,000 per-game roster bonuses, $1.5 million fully guaranteed, $1.734357 million cap number. Incentives up to $500,000 could make deal worth as much as $2.25 million.

Dozier’s 2021 camp audition barely affects the cap.
Tweeted this before Dakota Dozier signing. #Vikings still now have about $7.4 million of salary-cap room since Dozier's signing barely affected the cap. Got veteran salary benefit minimum deal of $1.075 million, which counts $850,000 on the cap. https://t.co/nVLcdLJ9BT

SKOL Lite, a popular Vikings Twitter account, wants three OL in four rounds.
I still believe we need to draft 3 OLINE in the first 4 rounds. And we better get a 2nd round pick.

Radunz, a local OL target in the draft, won’t make it to Round 3, says Wolfson.
No
