On Bradbury.
Garett Bradbury is gonna be the key to the offensive line being better in 2021. We’ve seen him have stretches of solid play.
10 weeks in 2019
8 weeks in 2020If Minnesota can figure how to get maximum consistent out of him it’ll Go a long way for them

Vikings offense in a fancy spot on the charts.
I assume everyone just stopped paying attention to the Panthers so no one noticed, but sheesh this was bad https://t.co/JT1tKNPNVm pic.twitter.com/tEtfUCujIM

Shamar westward.
Another former #Vikings player joins the Broncos and George Paton. Last month it was RB Mike Boone. https://t.co/yoCVT1LqR5

Vigil official.
I'm hearing that LB Nick Vigil is expected to officially sign his contract today with #Vikings. There was never any doubt that he wouldn't eventually sign after agreeing to terms three weeks ago. https://t.co/79jMXBS5Jt

Shrinkage.
Rashod Bateman has been slowly shrinking since high school.

Woods stats.
Xavier Woods ranked 6th with 0.29 yards per coverage snap among Safeties with at least with at least 300 coverage snaps.
Woods also ranked 6th in the NFL with a 83.6 (among Safeties) pass rush grade. #SKOL pic.twitter.com/tfF61KmPVd— Tobias Hardt (@VikingsfanTobi) April 6, 2021
Could be permanent.
Is Aaron Rodgers as the permanent host of 'Jeopardy!' a far-fetched idea? @MitchGoldich on the QB's latest TV endeavor https://t.co/ELxbVYM8MB

Falcons openminded.
With teams locked into the first three overall picks, the Atlanta Falcons now have received trade calls from multiple teams and “are open to moving” out of the No. 4 spot, per source.

Sosa not impressed with Zimmer and his CBs.
How much success has Mike Zimmer really had selecting CB early in the draft? Trae Waynes, Mike Hughes and Jeff Gladney.. should he still get the “green light” from Spielman selecting another one in 2021? #Vikings pic.twitter.com/IVwCYO228D

Wolfson speculates that Gladney is as good as gone.
I mean if only a minuscule of the details are true, he has to be done. The police report is frightening.

Simpler times.
i miss wholesome vikings off-season news like a guy getting busted with a whizzinator at the airport.

A Khalil Mack-Danielle Hunter spat.
Mack 110 games 109 starts
Hunter 78 games 49 startsSo Hunter has 60 less starts but played in 32 less games (2 seasons) than mack. But only 16 sacks behind? but he sucks & not good vs pass?? Lmao ? https://t.co/2CJytkbEze

Depth.
Again #Vikings don't gotta take a CB in 1st round. Minnesota still has a solid CB room. Grab another cb in mid rounds. Vikings need to focus on getting LT, LG & DE with first 3 picks. pic.twitter.com/1959LTSYyD

Harsh words.
1st round cornerbacks taken by the #Vikings. Trae Waynes, Mike Hughes, Jeff Gladney. Looking like 3 wasted first round picks now!

Snarky, humorous perspective.
Apparently half of Vikings Twitter can see the future and they knew which players were going to be draft busts.

Vikings could be interested in this man.

Vigil is stoked.
#Vikings LB Nick Vigil: "(The Vikings) reached out right when the legal tampering period began." He felt like it was a "really good fit" and deal was struck.

On Cousins’ mobility.
In general I’m probably over critical of Kirk Cousins, but that’s not to say I don’t think he’s a good QB
Since arriving in MN he’s improved in many areas where ppl criticized him
Throw those narratives away
Can’t play off script ?
Bad pocket presence ?
Doesn’t scramble ? pic.twitter.com/1AtLwdG8Lo— Matt Anderson (@MattAnderson_8) April 6, 2021
Safety chatter.
Before the Xavier Woods signing I thought Holland could’ve been a target for the #Vikings
Felt like Zim could utilize his versatility oppo Harry
Still think they target ‘S’ but just not in the earlier rounds https://t.co/O0uCSTbnvX

Per Braun, EDGE rusher is a big fat priority.
You think they’ve done enough defense? Think again. Not only would edge rusher be justified with a premium asset, it’d be irresponsible not to. (Feat. A lot of DJ Wonnum tape)https://t.co/LhWdg2zN5U

JOK tape.
