And the Welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Collard here,

along with CBS Sports Draft analyst Chris Trappasso

and Chris, I just want to start off the show

by thanking Daniel Jeremiah, who just handed us the show today, the very start of the show with a mock draft.

I want to say thank you so much to him for mocking Hendon Hooker to the Minnesota Vikings because if we didn't have anything to talk about which we do but if we didn't that would have been the whole show easily just given to us so anyway I'm excited to talk about that how are you I'm doing good and it's good that this didn't come out like the morning after we recorded at night because that would have been kind of par for the course for purple insider that breaking news happens or a huge mock draft bomb gets dropped right after

recording an episode. So yes, this was great from Daniel Jeremiah for content sake and just it's an interesting talking point not that Daniel

Jeremiah just like throws out random stuff there could be some credence to this and

he wrote in his write-up that the Vikings are doing a lot of homework on the

quarterback class. I do feel like we hear that sentence a lot about teams like in

the mid-teens into the 20s every year that just ultimately do not pick a quarterback whatsoever, but

Daniel Jeremiah is not skip bailus. Like he's putting stuff out there that he is very

connected with and maybe thinks could ultimately happen.

So I'm definitely glad that this happened the day of recording this podcast.

Well, and just logically speaking, I mean, the way that Kirk Cousins' contract sits right now,

it is natural for the Vikings to be looking very closely

at this quarterback class and trying to decide even if next year's

quarterback class would be better to wait for,

but then if they were doing it next year, it might be out of a position of desperation,

which you don't necessarily want to be in if you're drafting a quarterback.

Usually, if you can ideally set it up you draft a

quarterback a year before you need one.

That doesn't always work that way,
