Purple FTW! Podcast

Tough decisions are a hallmark of the NFL Draft. Teams have a position of need and two comparable players on their draft boards available for selection. Manning or Leaf, Luck or RG3, Jameis or Mariota. These watershed moments can change franchises forever.

The Minnesota Fightin' Vikings aren't selecting at the top of the draft, but the decisions will still weigh the same. We brought out man Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman) in to walk through some of these potential Sophie's Choices.

WHO YA GOT? Situations Include:• 1st Tier Wide Receiver: Laquon Treadwell or Josh Doctson• 2nd Tier Wide Receiver: Michael Thomas or Tyler Boyd• 2nd Tier Wide Receiver: Will Fuller or Sterling Shepard• Linebacker: Darron Lee or Jaylon Smith• Late 1st Tackle: Jack Conklin or Taylor Decker• Defensive Tackle Manna From Heaven: Sheldon Rankins or Andrew Billings• Defensive Tackle Diet Manna From Heaven: Vernon Butler or DJ Reader• 1st Tier Safety: Karl Joseph, Darien Thompson or Jeremy Cash• 2nd Tier Safety: Miles Killebrew or Kevin Byard• Random Late Wide Receiver: Pharoh Cooper or KJ Maye• Developmental Quarterback: Vernon Adams or Cardale Jones• Punter: Peter Mortell or Tom Hackett

All that and other "All. Of the Draft Picks. You Have." nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

The Minnesota Vikings' draft plans are a big talking point for fans right now as the 2016 version is less than a month away. GM Rick Spielman will have a lot of decisions to make behind-the-scenes, some will be crazy stories and scenarios that will never see the light of day. To shine a light on a few hypotheticals is our resident NFL Draft BOSS Luke Inman (@Luke_Spinman)! The scenarios are.......

Scenario 1: Myles Jack is the #1 player on your board. He's still available at #5 when David Caldwell of the Jacksonville Jaguars calls you up and says he wants the #23 overall pick plus your 2nd, 3rd and 5th 2016 picks and your 1st rounder in 2017. What say you?

Scenario 2: Laquon Treadwell, Josh Doctson, Corey Coleman, Andrew Billings, Jack Conklin, Taylor Decker are all off the board at 23 (as well as who you'd expect to be gone). You cannot trade back. Who do you take?

Scenario 3: Doctson is off the board, but Treadwell is available at 23. Offensive Coordinator Norv Turner has said unequivocally he does not want to work with Treadwell and prefers an offensive lineman. What do you do?

Scenario 4: Washington is on the clock at 21. Doctson is available and your sources say the Texans will grab him at 22 if available. Washington offers to swap picks if you include your 2nd, 5th, and Adrian Peterson. What do you do?

Scenario 5: You get a call from whoever the hell the Titans GM is this week. They're offering the #1 pick in exchange for your 2016 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th round picks, 2017 2nd rounder, and Matt Kalil. What do you do?

Scenario 6: Head coach Mike Zimmer says that Robert Nkemdiche is the #1 player in this draft and wants to work with him despite the off the field stuff. He's available at 23, but so is Josh Doctson. What do you do?

Scenario 7: Mike Tannenbaum of the Dolphins calls you up. He offers DeVante Parker for Anthony Barr straight up. What do you do?

All that and other "All. Of the Draft Picks. You Have." nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.

Cordarrelle Patterson is the best kick returner in the NFL. We expected more after trading up to 29 to draft the uber raw product out of Tennessee in 2013, but here we are.

All that and other "Damn, Competition Committee" nonsense on this edition of the Purple FTW! Podcast.
