from Vikings 1st & SKOL: A Minnesota Vikings podcast · host FFSN
Who Will Be King: NFC North NFL Draft Eve Predictions and Targets — On the eve of the NFL Draft, the “Who Will Be King” podcast hosts from across the NFC North discuss how the draft can change franchises, identify non-playoff teams that could improve quickly (including the Titans, Lions/Vikings, and Giants with two top-10 picks), and make fantasy vs. realistic first-round predictions for their teams. Dave wants the Vikings to land tight end Kenyon Sadiq as a WR3/TE successor to T.J. Hockenson but expects safety Dillon Thieneman as the more likely pick, while debating Harrison Smith’s status. Pay argues the Bears should prioritize a first-round edge rusher (citing Akheem Mesidor) over a wide receiver, and another host outlines Lions targets like trading up for linebacker Arvell Reese or more realistically taking tackle Kaleb Proctor They also discuss late risers (Jimmy Rolder, D’Angelo Ponds, Avieon Terrell), positions they’d avoid in round one, brief Packers draft needs, and each show’s live draft coverage plans. 00:00 Draft Night Hype 01:43 Holiday Eve Kickoff 02:55 Teams Ready to Rise 06:58 Back to NFC North 07:39 Vikings Dream Targets 11:50 Bears First Round Needs 14:31 Lions Picks and Trade Up 20:04 Late Risers and Surprises 22:29 Undersized CB Standouts 23:07 Avieon Terrell Breakdown 25:14 Nickel Corner Value 26:58 Drafting Corners Frustrations 28:08 First Round Avoid List 31:16 Lions Draft Priorities 33:48 Packers Picks And Needs 35:56 De'Zhaun Stribling Receiver Debate 39:06 Pass Rush Versus Coverage 40:13 Draft Weekend Live Plans 44:27 Sign Off And Plugs FAN WITH US!!!
