From time to time, you ask why? Why won’t the Vikings draft a wide receiver in round one? Since your Minnesota Vikings seem to be in run-it-back mode, and hiring a promising offensive-minded coach in Kevin O’Connell, could building the offense up to be a powerhouse be the strategy? Kirk Cousins was extended, maybe a tad bit too early, and more tools for him to succeed make sense. If so, do you choose Chris Olave after trading down in round one? Tyler will make that argument. He is the only one talking about that approach, especially when it is difficult to find immediate starters on defense. Rolling into week 2 of NFL Free Agency, your team is still active, but who are they looking at? 

Then, it will be onto Mock Draft Mondays’ mock version 7, where you the commenters can help decide who the Purple should draft.

Talking points for tonight’s show: 

- Tyler Forness’ quick video asking if the Vikings made a smart move extending Kirk Cousins when they did?

- Tyler Forness wrote a piece over at USA Today’s Vikings Wire
