The Minnesota Vikings select. He's a long time NFL draft expert who's been sweating Vikings football since the Randy Moss era.

Great cash, Norman. Welcome to Thor Talks Purple.

Hello everyone and welcome into Thor Talks Purple. Join here as always by producer AJ. We're welcoming Layton James back to the show in about 20 minutes. You're going to see him. But we're going to be talking about NFL draft all episode. So AJ, we have a lot to get to. So let's hop right in. Yeah, absolutely. A nice little Friday episode. I know Thor, you and I are relatively close and like where we live. Was your power out today? I had scheduled maintenance that the power company sprung on me like half an hour before I had to do some recording stuff today. So I had to hustle in the office. There's there's none over here. I did get a letter that they're going to bury the power lines around here at some point because we're, there's a bunch of trees and there's ponds and the trees fall on the power lines around here at some point because we're there's a bunch of trees and there's

ponds and the trees fall in the power lines all the time so if we do go out mid episode it assuredly

is for that reason but no not yet over here okay well anyways that was a weird on-air

production meeting about nothing uh anyways let's get into it we've got some leftover like mailback questions for you today, Thor, one of them coming that I'm mad we didn't get to yesterday. I asked Thor anything. Thursday, I figured it's so good. Let's get to it today. We'll even lead off the show coming from Christian Augustine, who emails in and says, Hey, AJ, I challenge Thor to come up with a current NFL player comp for all of the possible first or second day prospects that could go to the Minnesota Vikings.

I wouldn't consider myself a casual by any means.

And I don't watch a lot of college ball or player film.

So having player comparisons tied to these prospects really help me understand the caliber of player that's being

described. And on Thortox Purple, we accept any level of ball knower, whether it is an amateur

or deep in the weeds type of people. So questions like these are always asked because, frankly,

it helps me too. It enlightens me too. I'm sure there's other people watching that are in the same boat

here as Christian.

They continue to say, I know not every player is a perfect comp, but if there's anybody that can probably do it and figure it out, it's you, Thor.

Yeah. So these, I have several for guys that we've talked about as possibilities for the Vikings at 18 that I'll toss out here.

I'll say in advance, these are my comps now.

I switch them out all the time, especially after we get the official confirmations,

the measurables of all these players.

Like I feel like it's really important to match up the athletic profiles and the body

types, right?

I mean, you don't want to comp a guy to someone who is three inches taller, 30 pounds heavier, three-tenths of a second faster in the 40, right? So you have to sort of moor it in reality like that. But here's what I have right now. I wasn't going to include Jeremiah Love, but since we had that discussion yesterday because Charles Davis put him with the Vikings

at 18, I'll just start out with him. I comp him to Reggie Bush because of that straight ahead
