The dust has settled on NFL Free Agency, for the most part, but the Minnesota Vikings aren't quite done. So what do they have left to do? They missed out on Duke Shelley, who signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, and need a cornerback like nobody's business. They need wide receivers, and even more. But how do all of their needs rank? I will be out of town for all of next week, and so this channel will post some non-timely scouting guides to pass the time. See you in April! WANT MORE DAILY MINNESOTA VIKINGS CONTENT?

Things are changing on the Minnesota Vikings offense, as evidenced by the last week of Vikings acquisitions. C.J. Ham signed a two-year extension yesterday, and the commitment to having a fullback on the roster tells us that Kevin O'Connell is headed in a more Kyle Shanahan direction than a Sean McVay one.

Tennessee Quarterback Hendon Hooker was the subject of much debate in the Minnesota Vikings sphere. Would a Hendon Hooker selection in the first round be a good idea to move on from Kirk Cousins? I say no, and I'll talk about why. Plus, the Vikings signed Jonathan Bullard and added some void years to some free agent contracts to move money around. Realizing after the fact that I went through this whole episode without talking about Hendon Hooker's active ACL injury. So add that to the pile, though, I don't lend too much to short term issues on a much more long term decision. WANT MORE DAILY MINNESOTA VIKINGS CONTENT?

Alabama QB Bryce Young might be the first pick in this year’s NFL Draft by the Carolina Panthers after their big trade up, but other stars like linebacker Will Anderson, running back Jahmyr Gibbs and Texas Tech edge rusher Tyree Wilson will help to make the NFC conference even more competitive throughout the 2023 NFL season. Even the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles could look at add offensive fire power alongside Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith and A.J. Brown. While the Los Angeles Rams will be looking for defensive help to make up for the Jalen Ramsey trade. Our Locked On NFL Draft experts get you ready for the annual selection process.

We got a Thursday news dump! Za'Darius Smith requested his release from the Minnesota Vikings, but it's not personal - it's just business.

If the current rumors are to be believed, Adam Thielen is on his way out of Minnesota. So that means wide receiver market is back in the Vikings' sights. So what kind of guy should the Vikings look for? I'll go over two draft prospects: Jordan Addison and Jalen Hyatt as a comparison point, to try and identify the best kind of wideout.

Eric Kendricks is the first cap move the Minnesota Vikings made to try and get under for the 2023 season. He has been released, saving $9.5 million against the salary cap and creating a huge hole in the middle of the Vikings defense. Who can replace Kendricks, and how much more do the Vikings have to do?

Cornerback is probably the most commonly chosen positions for the Minnesota Vikings in the 2023 NFL draft. What about the son of the great Joey Porter? The Penn State CB has made quite the impression on me. So what if the Vikings made the move to trade up and get him? Can they still address, for example, a running back problem?

By March 15, the Minnesota Vikings need to have their salary cap situation squared away. There's a high likelihood that involves some kind of transaction with Kirk Cousins, be it a restructure or true extension, and it's also possible to do nothing. So let's go over each of those ideas in tons of detail. Whether you want Cousins to stay in Minnesota or not, there's a plan here for you. WANT MORE DAILY MINNESOTA VIKINGS CONTENT?

According to the recently released NFLPA report cards, the Minnesota Vikings are the single best team to play for. Their facilities, support systems and staff are almost unanimously respected by the players, in an anonymous forum run by the players' union. And yet, some people have decided they want to take this as a bad thing. Plus, updates on Lewis Cine, Brian Flores' roster decisions, and more!

Glad to be back. The Minnesota Vikings have a DEFCON emergency at the cornerback position - so why not grab one of the best to do it in the last decade?
