Vikings Next Steps: Needs Update, Jonathan Greenard Trade Talk, and 7-Round Mock Draft — Tyler Forness and producer Dave discuss the Vikings’ slow start to free agency after signing Kyler Murray and corner James Pierre, then outline updated team needs with linebacker as Forness’s top long-term concern due to limited contracts beyond 2026, followed by defensive tackle, cornerback, safety considerations, and running back depth. They break down defensive tackle vacancies after moving on from Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave, including cap-credit implications, and debate roster-building priorities in Brian Flores’ aggressive scheme. The show covers ongoing Jonathan Greenard trade rumors, emphasizing that any deal hinges on a contract extension and arguing he should be paid as a fringe top-10 edge rusher. Forness also cites reporting suggesting the Vikings discussed adding a second year to Murray’s deal and believes the team is trending toward moving on from J.J. McCarthy. They finish with a seven-round mock draft addressing multiple positions and special-teams value.
