You're going to. Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider Matthew Coller and this is a fans only episode and normally I have some sort of intro with an update on what's going on or some specific topic to get into to begin and then we jump into your questions but I got nothing.

0:38.0

This is one of those periods of the NFL where we're just kind of in sit and wait mode and then once the clock clicks over to April,

0:48.0

then it's kind of all in as we go in the weeks leading up to the NFL draft, but at the moment the draft buzz is a little quiet and we don't have a lot going on as far as Vikings news.

1:00.0

So why don't we just jump right into your questions?

1:03.0

A lot of interesting stuff philosophically wise

1:06.4

to debate here from our fans.

1:09.1

And by the way, if you want to send in a question to fans only send it to purple insider.com go to

1:15.4

contact us can send it there or send me a direct message at Matthew collar on

1:20.0

Twitter those are the two best ways to get your question in the show.

1:24.4

So let's fire it on up. Let's start with Michael here.

1:36.7

Yeah, that's the thing about this draft Michael is that it's going to have to be a give and

1:40.8

take.

1:41.6

You can't get everything you want because they don't have enough draft

1:46.4

picks to do that. And if they do trade up, that means trading other draft capital, which may include, I don't know, maybe the third or fourth round pick or something

1:56.1

else even from this year that could reduce even the amount of draft capital that they have from right now.

2:02.0

And then you go into next year probably dipping into that in order to move up to get a quarterback.

2:08.4

So essentially if they do get a quarterback this year's entire draft is about the quarterback.

2:16.0

How likely do I think it is?

2:17.6

I would say if we were doing kind of pie chart of outcomes and let's say it was trade up for a quarterback is one of the selections and another one is stay at 23 and draft the best player available and another one is trade back down or let's say go wide receiver no matter what right

2:38.7

just to give us four options I would say trading up to get a quarterback is probably 20% right now and I would give a lot more to the trade down which I think we'll talk about a little later in the show maybe 40% to the trade down,
