and All right, welcome to the first episode of what we are currently calling you Will

Raggots show on Purple Insider.

If you missed the announcement last week with me and Matthew Coller, I'm going to be hosting a weekly episode of the podcast going forward and we'll see if the name changes in the future, but right now we're going with the Will Raggots show, pretty simple.

And honored and excited to be joined by Thor Nystrom for my first episode.

He covers the college football and the NFL draft for NBC Sports Edge and just wrapped up a long draft cycle. Thor congrats on I'm getting through it. How's it going man?

Hey, thanks, it's going well. It's good to be with you on your first episode. I guess my name suggestion is as hit the trash can or whatever. My idea was Will Reagan on Kirk and other Vikings musings, but you know, maybe they're still considering it.

Yeah, I think that one, that one's a little lengthy, maybe.

There were a lot of good suggestions on Twitter.

It's a tough thing.

I was kind of being a perfectionist about it, but we'll see what we end up going with. But yeah, I wanted to chat with you just about the Vikings draft. It was a really interesting few days for Quayseido Fomensa, Kevin O'Connell, this new regime.

And I think we have to start with just the big trade that they made on opening night.

We were sitting there, I was sitting there in the media room getting ready. that they made on opening night.

We were sitting there.

I was sitting there in the media room

getting ready for them to pick at 12

and I knew there was a possibility of a trade back,

but then to move back 20 spots

and to do so with a divisional opponent.

What was your overall impressions of that kind of being the first big move of the Adolpho

Menza era?

Yeah, initially in the moment I was I was shocked and the the sticker price I think is what did it for me wasn't surprised that they moved down.

If it was me, I would have thought a little bit harder about Kyle Hamilton.
