The Minnesota Vikings select. He's a longtime NFL draft expert who's been sweating Vikings football since the Randy Moss era. Welcome to Thor Talks Purple.
Hello everyone and welcome into Thor Talks Purple. It's a Tuesday, so you know what time it is. I'm here with my friends AJ and Judd and it's time for a modest proposal. So Judd, let's get right into it. What is your pro modest proposal for the Minnesota Vikings?
Uh my modest proposal is actually this. It is that uh as we now get into the three-day mandatory minicamp, the only mandatory session of the offseason. My modest proposal is that the Vikings um it at some point after this, and I talked about this with uh Duges as well on Purple Daily today, sign a veteran. Edge Rusher. A veteran edge rusher that they desperately need not just depth there but quality depth. So you you got Dallas Turner starting, Van Ginkle, and then behind them you've got Tyler Batty, Chaz Chambliss, Bo Richter, UDFAs from this April, and uh Cameron Stewart and Arden Walker. But those first three, Thor, Batty, Chambliss, and Richter, um Last season. Had one sack between them. That was by Chambless.
And none of them played more than six percent of the defensive snaps. Not saying they can't emerge, not saying that they can't contribute, but it's a big unknown. So I don't think it's uh I think it's a very modest proposal. There's certainly a lot of veterans out there, Jadavian Clowney among them on the market. Uh, but there is a list of guys, edge veteran edges, who have not signed yet. That the Vikings are g going to need to and I think the Vikings know this as well, need to sign one of those guys, uh, either before training camp starts or right around the time that it starts.
I I want to get your read on this uh off of that topic and and heading into the mandatory mini cam. You you look at the depth chart right now, and like you're mentioning, if it's just like the on on paper depth chart of the edge rusher room, the top couple backups would be Bo Richter and Tyler Batty. But we know that Tyrion Ingram Dawkins has been taking snaps there on the edge. Is he gonna be a full-time convert? And then you have the Gall Day thing of off ball linebacker. Edge. How do you s Judd, how do you sort of gauge uh both t for we'll start with Tyrion Ingram Dawkins, then I want you to talk about Galday, but both of those guys potential work at edge um that could mitigate some of this?
