All right, welcome back to the show, Eric Edholm.

It's, look, your return is under heavy scrutiny here as power rankings mean a lot to

this show, okay?

I'm sure.

I've started power ranking myself, the fans.

It means a lot to them.

And then somebody power ranks the Minnesota Vikings 28th, you're going to have to explain.

So, you know, post draft, I'm reading everything I can read, click it around NFL.com, all the articles.

Okay, yeah, let's check out where Eric's got the Vikings. Scrolling, scrolling.

I see the Cleveland Browns.

I'm like, did I miss something?

Did Eric forget that the Vikings are a team?

And then we get to number 28.

And that's where the Vikings ranked.

And the internet was displeased with you, Mr. Ed Holm.

So you got to start there in your explanation for how that happened. Well, first of all, thank you again for having me back. It's always a pleasure to be on the show. I like how you, you know, you ease into it too, right? You know, like it just, you know, sort of beat me, beef me up with some softball questions before getting to the tough stuff.

And just kind of shuffling the board a little bit. and look, I'm going to be, let you on a little industry secret for those listening.

There's not a whole lot of science to it, right? I mean, yes, I do involve numbers. And I think about the big picture, of course. But it's this time of year, it's a little bit about vibes. And so I did not set out. I didn't say like, hey, this week's power rankings, we're going to give it to the Vikings. We're going to show them where they belong. We're going to put them in their place. It really didn't start out like that. It was more like moving the Browns up after another great draft, you know, and it was all of a sudden I went back and looked at it and I went, it's probably going to make some people angry here.

But if there's ever a time to have a team placed in a spot that they don't belong,

it's probably May, I would say.

You know, this was a four and eight football team at one point last year entering December.

I think there was a lot of question about, you know,
