The Viking Age’s Adam Patrick and Sporting Sota’s Tyler Haag talk the latest Minnesota Vikings news and preview the upcoming 2018 NFL Draft.

After weeks and weeks of speculation and way too many mock drafts, the time has finally come for the Minnesota Vikings to make their selections in the 2018 NFL Draft.

The Vikings have eight picks entering Thursday’s first round, but that total could easily increase or even decrease during the course of the entire event. Especially with Minnesota’s general manager being Rick Spielman, who loves himself a good draft day trade.

On this week’s episode of the Bleeding Purple Podcast, Tyler and I discuss some possible options for the Vikings in this year’s draft as well as a bunch of other Vikings-related topics including…

  • Kentrell Brothers’ four-game suspension
  • Failing a drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine
  • Vikings interested in a controversial prospect
  • Assessing Minnesota’s 2018 schedule
  • Playing the Patriots and Seahawks on the road will be tough
  • Dalvin Cook is back on the field
  • Details of Eric Kendricks’ contract revealed
  • The Bleeding Purple Draft Extravaganza!
  • Draft needs for the Vikings this year
  • How likely is it that Minnesota will trade out of the first round?
  • Rick Spielman could easily be a politician if he wanted
  • Prospects Adam and Tyler have their eyes on
  • Could the Vikings actually trade up in the first round?
  • Minnesota should think about drafting a quarterback
  • The touchy subject of Johnny Flynn
  • The best draft analysts are no longer on TV
  • Adam and Tyler’s bold draft predictions
