Sal Pal on NFL Radio this morning. Stated he believes there's a heavy lean within the Panthers organization to take Bryce Young with the #1 overall pick. Also stated Hendon Hooker has "been killing it in interviews" and believes he could go anywhere in the second half of the first round.

With age comes maturity and my guy is ancient. Not surprised he’s done well in interviews.

According to Tony Pauline at Pro Football Network, the Vikings have shown significant interest in BYU QB Jaren Hall. 

Hall came into the year with a lot of hype and I watched a couple of his games. Not the biggest guy and he is also older (25) as most BYU players are, but he is a real NFL style QB for today's game. Not the biggest arm but shows the ability to make all the throws. Excellent in the pocket and has that escapability factor to make something happen when the play breaks down. Watch the second highlight in this video, and how he hangs in the pocket and delivers an absolute dime.

Even though he has an average arm, he does display great touch on all of his throws. His 4.62 forty at his Pro Day was pretty mediocre for a QB that gets marketed as a dual threat, especially at the Pro level. I think his size is an issue and will push him to a Day 3 project. I hate to be biased against BYU QB's, but outside of Steve Young there is a long history of NFL Busts.

I've heard a comp on him as a poor man's Jalen Hurts. Hurts was a 4.59/40 guy, so I don't think the speed or elusiveness is an issue looking at his tape. My preference would still be DTR if we took a mid round flyer on a QB, but Hall certainly has desirable traits as well

.....but that arm, though. Yikes. INT machine in the NFL.

I think we can probably ignore all of these "Vikings have shown interest in" reports. The Vikings have shown interest in taking a QB in this draft. If they're not doing work on each and every one of them they're not doing their jobs.

Here's a true statement: the Vikings have shown interest in drafting some guys later this month.

The rest is just hot air. :p

I saw comparisons to Russell Wilson for this Hall.  Maybe Pete Carroll has him on the radar as well.
