Episode Details

Two Old Bloggers Vikings Draft Special: Drew’s Big Board, Pick 18 Targets, and a Trade-Down Plan — Dave Stefano and Darren Campbell host a Two Old Bloggers Vikings draft special with guest “Drew the Rooster” Bunting, who presents his Vikings-tilted big board and argues the team, picking at 18 with an interim GM, must nail a critical nine-pick draft after recent misses. Drew calls this a developmental “gems” draft (especially rounds 4–7) with weak QB and interior OL/OT/OG groups, but strong safety, corner, receiver, and defense overall; he also notes a potential top-five RB (Jeremiah Love) and highlights kick return value for Jadarian Price. The show is dedicated to former Vikings Jeff Siemon and Joey Browner. Drew urges trading down to ~24–25 to gain another top-100 pick, targeting DT Kayden McDonald, and discusses needs at safety, multiple corners, center, DT, and linebacker, with realistic first-round options including Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq and Oregon S Dillon Thieneman. They preview Vikings First and SKOL’s draft-week live coverage and share several sleeper prospects.
