Purple Daily: Vikings trade up or stay put?

What are the odds for the Minnesota Vikings to trade up to different spots in the NFL Draft versus staying put? Purple Daily discusses

The Minnesota Vikings are likely to trade up in the 2024 NFL draft. How that happens or if it doesn’t happen is going to be the top storyline for the next five and a half weeks until the first day of the draft on April 25th.

What are the likely scenarios for the Vikings? That is the biggest discussion on this episode of Purple Daily. What are the likelihoods that they:

  • Trade up to third overall
  • Trade up to fourth overall
  • Trade up to fifth overall
  • Don’t trade up and stay at 11th and 23rd overall

Along with that, managing editor Tyler Forness discusses multiple different topics, including Drake Maye versus J.J. McCarthy and the mock drafts from Mel Kiper Jr. and Daniel Jeremiah.

All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Daily on the Purple Daily YouTube channel.

Minnesota Vikings potential spending spree: Purple Access

How will the Minnesota Vikings spend their money in free agency? Purple Access explores that topic and more.

Free agency is less than a week away and the Minnesota Vikings could look significantly different when the 2024 season kicks off.

Going into free agency, the Vikings are going to have at least $37 million in cap space to spend. How are they going to spend it? Will they be trying to put it toward a few good players or trying to fill multiple holes? The strategy that general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah uses will tell us a lot about how he wants to continue building this team.

Along with trying to figure out how the Vikings will approach free agency, the guys look at multiple other topics, including whether or not a quarterback should play right away and the potential of an 18 game season.

Purple Daily: Vikings quarterback targets post Senior Bowl

The Minnesota Vikings are in a position to take a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft. After the Senior Bowl, who is the best option at QB? Purple Daily discusses

The Minnesota Vikings are going to be in the quarterback market this offseason and it likely won’t be Kirk Cousins. Yes, there is still a chance that Cousins returns to the Vikings but it feels unlikely right now.

With that being said, getting the quarterback of the future is extremely important. Purple Daily brought on Vikings Wire’s managing editor Tyler Forness to discuss the quarterback class and how they did at the Senior Bowl.

  • Where is Bo Nix at? Did he perform well in Mobile?
  • How did Michael Penix Jr.’s stock get impacted?
  • Is Spencer Rattler a worthwhile option on day two?
  • How should the week of Senior Bowl practice matter in terms of draft evaluation?

To finish the show, the crew does a mock draft simulation. Who should the Vikings take? What approach makes the most sense?

Purple Access: Vikings future plans without Kirk Cousins

Kirk Cousins, the NFL Draft and a position in round one that isn’t a quarterback are the topics of discussion on the latest episode of Purple Access

The one topic that will continue to circulate around the Minnesota Vikings is the future of Kirk Cousins.

Based on his play this season, it’s almost a certainty that the Vikings would want him back. He was playing at a near MVP level before he tore his Achilles tendon, but that injury can be a major detriment in both athleticism and arm strength.

What should the Vikings do? It’s not just as simple as picking a player, as you have to factor in the financial element and how the Achilles tear will impact Cousins physically. Plus, do the Vikings like a quarterback enough to take one high in the draft? What other positions should the Vikings consider targeting early in the draft if taking a quarterback isn’t an option in the first round?

All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Access on the Purple Daily YouTube channel.

When do the Vikings sell? Purple Access

If things continue to go south, the Vikings could approach the trade deadline like a Major League Baseball team

The Minnesota Vikings are in a peculiar position with an 0-3 record but have mostly played good football. What does that mean for the future? We genuinely don’t know yet.

0-3 teams don’t have a great track record of making playoffs, as they only make it 2.4% of the time with the last one being the 2018 Houston Texans. At what point do the Vikings sell?

It’s a difficult conversation to have, especially with general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah having said that he won’t tank. At what point does selling not become tanking anymore? That is a question worth exploring and it involves Major League Baseball.

All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Access, including how much Cam Akers and Dalton Risner will play on Sunday.
