| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome back to the show. |
| 0:08.0 | Trevor Sykima, the NFL Stock Exchange podcast. |
| 0:11.8 | Absolutely crushed your NFL draft coverage, Trevor. |
| 0:16.6 | Love to see the success of the NFL Stock Exchange podcast. |
| 0:20.5 | If you folks followed Trevor with PFF and you have not gone over and started listening |
| 0:25.2 | to the stock exchange, please do so as soon as possible. |
| 0:29.3 | Trevor, why don't we just start out with this? |
| 0:31.8 | What do you think of the Vikings draft? |
| 0:33.7 | You guys did a huge, huge show grading all the drafts because you're lunatics. You graded |
| 0:39.6 | 32 drafts. What did you guys, what did you guys land on with the Vikings? Because the graders |

| 1:23.3 | fences. You are up in that bat speed. You are arching the back a little bit more as that |
| 1:27.9 | fastball is coming in. And you are saying, I am striking out here or I am hitting a 500 |
| 1:32.7 | foot dinger. It's probably one of those two options. And for the Viking specifically, |
| 1:38.8 | having a desire to get more aggressive, more talented, faster on their interior defensive line, I can understand |
