Bleeding Purple Podcast, Episode 61 – Draft Extravaganza!
By Adam Patrick
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.
