A deeper dive into the Vikings’ UDFA
Looking deeper into the Vikings list of UDFA signings, there is no shortage of potential ‘Ivan Pace Jr.’ award winners in this group- undrafted free agents that could make the roster and make an impact.
One player not talked about much yet is Bo Richter, an edge rusher out of Air Force. Let’s take a quick look at him and why he’s got a lot of the same vibes as Ivan Pace Jr. coming out.
Richter as a bigger, more athletic version of Ivan Pace Jr., closer to a traditional linebacker...

A deep dive into the Vikings new offensive lineman
With the 177th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Walter Rouse, tackle, Oklahoma. Rouse was ranked 189th on the consensus board and the 19th ranked tackle. He was the first pick of the sixth round.
Rouse likely fits into the Vikings’ roster as a backup or swing tackle, although he may be tried inside at guard as well. He played left tackle for five seasons in college- four with Stanford and one with Oklahoma- and is described as a smart guy who was a...

How things may shake-out by the end of August
Now that the Vikings have completed their draft and signed 17 UDFAs to get their roster up to 90 players, let’s take a look into how things will shake out and which 53 players will make the roster at the end of August.
The Vikings kept three quarterbacks last season and they were happy they did as things turned out, so I bet they do so again.
It’ll be touch and go when JJ McCarthy will overtake Sam Darnold as the starter, but both make...

We have a punting competition now, too
Following the 2024 NFL Draft, we know that the Minnesota Vikings are going to have a kicking competition at some point during this offseason and/or preseason, and now it looks like they might have a competition at the punter spot as well.
The team has announced that they have signed punter Seth Vernon, who spent Training Camp in 2022 with the Atlanta Falcons. He was not in the league anywhere in 2023.
Vernon played his college ball at Portland State and averaged 44.6 yards/punt during his career there. He had 29 punts that...

Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance. - Confucius
I have not had much of a chance to give a review of the Vikings draft. I like the trades although I think they could have stayed put and got McCarthy anyway. Sean “douchebag” Payton claims he faked out the Vikings but that is hard to believe. How would the Vikings know the Broncos are on the phone with the Jets? Of course they could made a reasonable guess. Maybe he was on the phone without ever intending to trade up and the Jets told the Vikings that...
