Geoff Nichols Discussion of the 2019 Draft - Vikings

[Tom Moore]

You can find 13 segments (all between 1-2 minutes long) for Geoff's overview of the Vikings 2019 Draft can be found in the Twitter feed on the left-hand bar feed own The Longship page (or on Twitter @VikeFans.  You do not need to join Twitter to view or hear these).

Among other things, he talks:

1) Offensive Line choices
2) Kirk Cousins and why there is hope
3) Any lingering gift between Kirk Cousins and Adam Thielen
4) 3rd WR options - both on the team and in the draft
5) Are Trae Waynes or Xavier Rhodes possible trade bait on Draft Day?
6) Will Everson Griffen be the Everson Griffen of old?
7) Is Kyle Rudolph really in his prime and what draft-day TE options might intrigue the Vikings
8) Should we be concerned if Stephen Weatherly is the starting DE?
9) Why does Geoff think Dalvin Cook will be even more dynamic in 2019
10) His prediction of the Vikings #1 pick if they stay at 18, or their pick if they traded down.

You mean rift?   I don't think they are giving each other gifts at this point.

At least it isn't a schism.  I hope.

Just went through and listened to all of these. Thank you Tom and Geoff, great stuff!
EDIT- To provide an actual comment, I particularly liked the parts about Rhodes being a bit under-appreciated by fans (agreed), and about the Vikings looking at a receiving TE in rounds 1-4. I think this makes a lot of sense but for whatever reason I don't think they'll do it this year. I think it will be a big need going into next year's draft.
