The Minnesota Vikings select. He's a long time NFL draft expert who's been sweating

Vikings football since the Randy Moss era. Welcome to Thor Talks Purple.

Hello everyone and welcome in to Thor Talks Purple. It is a Wednesday, so it's War Room Wednesday.

I'm joined as always by producer a j and we

were about to talk about the nfl draft through the perspective of your minnesota vikings a jr ready to do

this oh yeah always and thor i know we uh the past it seems like five six seven mock drafts we have

been grabbing our guy cole payton with one of the picks either like the 234 or the 240.

But because of a text you sent me earlier this week, it seems like some scouts and maybe some

NFL front offices are keying in that he's a better prospect than what maybe we're grabbing

him in these mock drafts right now.

And we might not be able to get him in the seventh round,

maybe even the sixth round or even higher moving forward. Can you enlighten the people as to what I'm talking about here? Because I know you have a little more knowledge about the situation. Yeah, there's been a lot. There's been some steam on Cole Payton here leading up to the NFL combine. And we sort of tried to get the audience ready for this of you have here

this coming draft class an utter dearth of quarterbacks you have the one that's the sure thing

in Fernando Mendoza then an enormous drop um tie simpson is the consensus too but huge huge

a canyon of a drop between the two.

And then the idea from the consensus has been like,

then there's another canyon after Ty Simpson.

I'm not sure that that's, that's actually accurate.

I don't know that Ty Simpson is a lock, lock, lock.

To go there, there's some questions with Ty Simpson's game,

which we're going to get into

tomorrow.
