and Hello welcome to the post day two purple insider Matthew collar here Paul Hoduanic is virtual. He's just wrapped up watching a

gut-wrenching wolves loss as if there is any other kind but maybe depending on your

expectations of the Vikings Day 2 draft,

you might call that gun wrenching as well.

Because I just, I want to start out by saying, Paul,

that through the first several decisions, I thought it was starting to make sense.

So they trade out of their pick at number 34, they move back, they get two picks in the 50s which is by the numbers a very good deal for them not just like okay but like a decided victory in terms of draft capital and if if you look at early first to mid-lates,

what's the real difference there?

I mean, it's some, it's always some

when you're going later in the draft,

but maybe when you're thinking about your positions of need

versus what the team who's trading up needs and you know the packers are coming up for a wide receiver,

so they're either going to do it with you or they're going to do it with a person behind you, and it might as well be you.

So you can get some more draft capital, get more players, and let's not forget, the roster is very much lacking in depth and is straight up just weak in specific areas such as

cornerback. So when they decided to make that move back, my thought was, okay, they'll get a corner and then they'll get

something else where you have a player with a decent chance to become a starter and if they

come away with three prospects who have a chance to become starters.

Even if the high end of these prospects doesn't look like it's Pro Bowl

a year after year or completely game changing or needle moving.

It could still be good.

And what you need is a lot of good

in order to be a winning team.
