SKOLHole Episode 77 | Evaluating the Vikings 2nd and 3rd round picks and looking forward to mid to late rounds

Monday Apr 29, 2019

In this episode:

The Vikings were able to nab one of the best tight ends in the 2019 NFL Draft with Alabama’s Irv Smith Jr. The Bama tight end has all the makeup to be an explosive pass catcher in the Vikings potent offense. They also bounced around quite a bit in round 3 making trade after trade and getting a haul in return. By the time the 3rd round ended they had themselves a new running back in Alexander Mattison. While he isn’t one of the more hot names around the position he does fill a big need for the Vikings when it comes to a bruising back. He can get the tough yards also catch the ball out of the backfield. We also look ahead to rounds 4-7 and what to expect from the Vikings in the most entertaining rounds of the draft.

SKOLHole Episode 75 | Breaking down the Vikings brand new 1st rounder Garrett Bradbury

Friday Apr 26, 2019

In this episode:

One of the biggest needs the Minnesota Vikings needed heading into draft weekend was offensive line help. And they didn't disappoint. Even with rumors of the Vikings looking to trade up they stood their ground and waited for their guy to fall in their laps.

We break down the selection of Garrett Bradbury and what this means for the Vikings moving forward. Look for him to start day one, which allows Elflein to scoop over to guard. This selection pretty much revamps the entire offensive line.

Before wrapping up the pod we give our grade for the 1st round and more.

Little game of "Who would you rather?" Lupagus throws some names at Onebar and he decides who he would rather have as a Viking and why.
