The Minnesota Vikings' draft plans are a big talking point for fans right now as the 2016 version is less than a month away. GM Rick Spielman will have a lot of decisions to make behind-the-scenes, some will be crazy stories and scenarios that will never see the light of day. To shine a light on a few hypotheticals is our resident NFL Draft BOSS Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman)! The scenarios are....... Scenario 1: Myles Jack is the #1 player on your board. He's still available at #5 when David Caldwell of the Jacksonville Jaguars calls you up and says he wants the #23 overall pick plus your 2nd, 3rd and 5th 2016 picks and your 1st rounder in 2017. What say you? Scenario 2: Laquon Treadwell, Josh Doctson, Corey Coleman, Andrew Billings, Jack Conklin, Taylor Decker are all off the board at 23 (as well as who you'd expect to be gone). You cannot trade back. Who do you take? Scenario 3: Doctson is off the board, but Treadwell is available at 23. Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner has said unequivocally he does not want to work with Treadwell and prefers an offensive lineman. What do you do? Scenario 4: Washington is on the clock at 21. Doctson is available and your sources say the Texans will grab him at 22 if available. Washington offers to swap picks if you include your 2nd, 5th, and Adrian Peterson. What do you do? Scenario 5: You get a call from whoever the hell the Titans GM is this week. They're offering the #1 pick in exchange for your 2016 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th round picks, 2017 2nd rounder, and Matt Kalil. What do you do? Scenario 6: Head coach Mike Zimmer says that Robert Nkemdiche is the #1 player in this draft and wants to work with him despite the off the field stuff. He's available at 23, but so is Josh Doctson. What do you do? Scenario 7: Mike Tannenbaum of the Dolphins calls you up. He offers DeVante Parker for Anthony Barr straight up. What do you do? All that and other "All. Of the Draft Picks. You Have." nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

Cordarrelle Patterson is the best kick returner in the NFL. We expected more after trading up to 29 to draft the uber raw product out of Tennessee in 2013, but here we are. All that and other "Damn, Competition Committee" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

The 'Safety Opposite of Harrison' has been a much talked about position of need for the Minnesota Vikings since Smith came on board in 2012. We still haven't found a suitable Robin for Harry the Hitman's Dark Knight. Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) of eDraft and Cold Omaha is back again this week to chat about a few safeties in the draft who could be a damn good Dick Grayson.

The first wave of free agency has come and gone. The Minnesota Vikings didn't land the White Whales the fanbase wanted (Kelechi Osemele or George Iloka), but I think we're fine settling for the White Rhino in Alex Boone. We dive into him as well as the other depth free agent signing the Purple made. I also take a look at other potential Vikings still on the market and what the plan should be with our own unrestricted free agents. |

Erin Andrews got justice in her peephole stalker case. Now the minor details of collecting through years of stalls and appeals. Speaking of collecting, a number of NFL players are starting to collect in free agency (looking at you, Malik Jackson and Kelechi Osemele). Basically a delicious hodge podge of sports randomness today. Just how Andy likes it. Spicy.

Mock Drafts. So hot right now. That's why I teamed up with the smartest draft mind in the South Metro Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) and did one up. Parameters are simple: We alternated picks for the first round of the draft and come on the show to talk about our thought process behind our selections. Luke's reasoning is in-depth and studied, while mine has as much logic behind it as the secretary in your office always winning the March Madness Pool by picking winners based on their mascot. Yeah... All that and other "With the First Pick...." nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast. An Andy Carlson Joint Check out Luke's 7-Round Vikings Mock Draft too.

(Cross-Posted Content with The Andy Carlson Show)
ALL Vikings talk on this special cross-over episode of the Purple FTW! Podcast and my new project The Andy Carlson Show. Love talking about all sports and all topics on the new show, but we all know that the Minnesota Fightin' Vikings is my wheelhouse (or at least mediocre wheelhouse).
