and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collar here and joining me on the show

E-SPN's Kevin Seifert who tried like crazy to convince anybody who would listen that the Vikings were

going to miss out on all the quarterbacks. They were going to pick Spencer Rattler

in the fifth and they were going to cry the entire night long. That's not what happened, Kevin. Take accountability for your bad draft hot take to start the show.

No, what I was doing and I thought that I gave a, I did a public service which was to give people the broad range of possibilities that could happen.

And they actually got closer to the Rattler scenario than they did to like the ideal scenario,

you know, even if it was the sixth quarterback, which would have, I assume, been Knicks, and they probably felt pretty good that they weren't going to lose out on anybody.

But I still think that it was somebody had to blaze the trail of the catastrophe scenario,

even if it was unlikely to happen, and I was happy to do it.

And did it you did you made it interesting through draft season to talk about that but I do want to know your take on this because I have not seen

anyone use the word that I was afraid of battling throughout the summer which was
