Football takes draft aficionado, one of the uh foremost authorities on draft content in the entire country. And we're gonna get into uh just your thoughts. They've they've added more and you've been talking about this on Thor Talks Purple, but they've added more interesting names to the front office. Uh Judd has stayed up all night doing a handwritten deep dive on Seahawks draft history versus Vikings draft history. History versus
I got seven pages here of Seahawks. A actually John Schneider. So like I didn't take interesting.
Just to be clear, 'cause I think I think Phil said before we like flipped the mics on that they had drafted what did you say like nine they averaged nine draft picks, right? Yeah. So How many names did you physically write down? You wrote down every name?
No, no, no, no. I wrote down every name.
Seven pages of notes, I mean.
Well, I've got the best player from each draft, Pro Bowl players from each draft, split of offensive and defensive. Um how how m how many of these guys from each draft class played more than one hundred games. So it's just a very nuanced look at how a good team goes about it.
Yeah, j j some people say it's June, you know, this is a time to take it. Judd doesn't have an off season. I tell people that all the time. Yeah, writer's cramp. Yeah.
No, like I was excited about this. Like like we came up with this last night and I'm like this is a great topic.

Why do the Vikings’ recent front‑office hires differ from past regimes?
And then he goes and grabs Trent Kirchner and Andrew Healy from so Kirchner from the Seahawks. Andrew Healy, who I believe Teesley told the athletic, Andrew Healy is one of the smartest people he's ever worked with in sports on the analytics front.
