So let's not waste any time. Kick it right off with an email that came from John who said, I haven't heard any other rumors that we are doing private

workouts with May or any quarterback besides McCarthy. Would it be safe to assume that we like McCarthy more or is it more due diligence?

So there was a report that they were meeting with Michael Penix, but the thing about all draft

related reports and items is that the teams don't announce what they're doing all the time.

In fact, almost never do they announce what they're doing.

So the Vikings are very, very likely to meet with every one of these

quarterbacks that could potentially be drafted in the first round and maybe some quarterbacks

even that we don't expect like Spencer

Rattler we could see that happening potentially but they don't have to tell

anybody that they're doing it when where how what type of workout they're doing it, when, where, how, what type of workout they're putting the guy through.

So it's only if a reporter finds out, which often happens through the agent telling someone or a team, I guess, letting an insider know that they're doing their due diligence.

But if the Vikings aren't doing that, then you're not finding out. But this is a process that Kevin O'Connell talked about at the

owner's meetings that is extremely extremely important to him and this is why when the Vikings don't show up at somebody's pro day, then we see, oh, well, they weren't at this guy's pro day. But O'Connell said, don't look into that at all because the proDays just are not that important to Kevin O'Connell in comparison to these private

workouts that I almost guarantee you every one of these quarterbacks probably outside of Caleb Williams, they will go, they will put that guy through a workout. They'll get in a whiteboard with him. They'll look at film. Kevin O'Connell will sit down with these guys and he talked about that process, what he's

looking for, what it means to him to be able to sit in a room and simulate what

it's going to be like to work with these quarterbacks as they make the decision of do you want to try to trade it all for Drake May?

Are you comfortable with trading two firsts for J.J McCarthy or would you rather stick and pick at 11 because you really

fell in love with Bohnix or Michael Penix? All those things are potentially on the table,
