and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider and back on the show my favorite

draft analyst Mike Renner.

Man it has been quite a time over here, Mike.

You know, you're looking at the whole landscape of the league

and just vibing on the draft and waiting to see how it all plays out.

But it's intense over here as we are in the final days

before the Minnesota Vikings draft their future franchise

quarterback. Can you feel the tension through our Streamyard call here?

Oh, I felt it as soon as I logged on. I saw you crack a little diet soda there just out of necessity.

You couldn't just sit there and not have a little something to age and ease the stress.

Oh yeah, and Diet Dr. Pepper definitely does that.

I saw Wade Phillips tweet out a 36-pack of Diet Dr. Pepper,

which apparently is only sold at Costco.

I'm gonna have to get an account to go there and buy a 36 pack just for draft night alone.

So yeah, it's been a really interesting time, man.

I mean, you and I have talked so many drafts through the years

but have never had a chance to talk about quarterback seriously for the Minnesota Vikings so I have a

game I want to play with you but I also just want to ask you broadly about this quarterback class. It is my impression that almost any one of the quarterbacks the Vikings end up with here is going to be a good result for them because of what they can do for that quarterback and because we're not talking ourselves into Sam Howell here or Kenny Pickett. These are accomplished

quarterbacks record-setters, guys who competed for Heisman, generational talents.

Like there's good quarterbacks all over this board. That is my feeling, but maybe I'm just talking myself into that

because it's an exciting time for the Vikings

to be drafting a quarterback.
