2024 mock draft and listener questions: Purple Daily on Draft

Purple Daily on Draft discusses the latest 2024 NFL mock draft from ESPN’s Jordan Reid along with listener questions.

As we move toward the 2023 season, the Minnesota Vikings have a lot of question marks with their roster. How those questions play out will determine the 2024 NFL draft for the Vikings.

ESPN’s Jordan Reid released his first mock draft of the 2024 cycle and has the Vikings selecting Penn State edge rusher Chop Robinson at 21st overall. That would mark the first time since 2005 that the Vikings would take an edge rusher in the first round. Would that be a good selection for the Vikings? The guys discuss.

Along with that, the guys answer listener questions including about Thor Nystrom and Tyler Forness’ draft crush of 2022 Malik Willis.

Lewis Cine’s future: Purple Daily on Draft

Should the Vikings be concerned with Lewis Cine’s future? Purple Daily on Draft discusses.

The Minnesota Vikings are a few weeks away from beginning training camp and there are multiple storylines to follow. One of those is at the safety position.

After the Vikings selected him at 32nd overall, Lewis Cine only played two defensive snaps and missed the majority of the season due to a broken ankle. He hasn’t been getting a lot of run in practice this offseason and Josh Metellus has been used more in sub-packages. Is that a concern? Should we be worried about his future in a Vikings uniform? The guys discuss.

They also take listener questions, including an intriguing one about a college quarterback from Utah.
