Here is some of their top content from the last couple of days:

1 – PurplePTSD wants to continue the trend from last year of trading back in the 1st Round of the draft, and here’s why.

2 – Derek Stingley Jr. should be a rookie perhaps available in the draft for the Vikings, and Josh Frey explains why that’s enticing.

3 – There was a lot of good from quarterback Kirk Cousins in 2021, especially in the first two-thirds of the season. Cole Smith breaks down all of it.

4 – Retaining a punter as an offseason priority? Yep. Kyle Joudry has a rationale.

5 – The one you’ve all been waiting for — the future of Aaron Rodgers as a member of the Green Bay Packers.
