Summary

Matthew Coller talks about a recent piece on Vikings.com that looked at a bunch of different mock drafts and they seemingly all have Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman coming to Minnesota. Matthew explores whether that's a good idea and looks at the rogue NFL mock drafts that go with different players other than Thieneman. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
