and So welcome to another episode of Purple Insider and we're making this a yearly tradition before the

NFL draft. Matthew Collar with you along with Gabe Henderson of Vikings Entertainment.

What is going on Gabe? great to have you back buddy.

Man, thanks for having me on. This has been a long time coming. The last couple of

years I've been on your Drafts Simulator podcast this time of the year so to be back I feel like this is my time of the year so it's our time to shine together so appreciate you having.

This is the final draft Sim and so just like last year well our friend Eric Smith was with us

last year but now he works for the chargers but you are here to do the final official we're going to call it draft sim which accurately

predicts the draft a hundred percent of the time I think I don't know I didn't go back

and listen to last year to see how we did. But you know I want to I want to start

with talking about so I started messing around before what I've done a lot of

draft Sims is you know I've traded down and I think that's a very realistic thing that they could do.

I've taken corners, I've taken receivers, I've taken Edgers,

but you know what, this morning I woke up and I chose trading up.

And I just want to start with this idea gave because I don't think it's out of the

question that this team could look at this quarterback class and say, you know what,

one of those three guys, if we get them, those top three,

Stroud, Richardson, and Young, if one of them is there,

we want to make sure we're going to go get them.

I don't think that's insane. Do you think that's insane?

I don't think that's the same either. But I think it goes to the point of how high if the quarterback drops to maybe you know eight or nine like if

Levis or Richardson one of those guys kind of drop you mean I know we're not into

this mock draft yet but like on my draft board right now like I'm at pick number 10 with the Eagles and Anthony Richardson is still on the board so I think on draft night if that is the case I can see the Vikings trying to make a move up because you have a little bit more leverage to be able to move up without giving up as much as you would if you went up to the top three or top four.
