In this episode of Vikings Daily Opener, Judd Zulgad and Tyler Forness discuss various topics related to the Minnesota Vikings. Judd Zulgad covers key storylines for the Vikings as they begin their Organized Team Activities. He discusses Brian Flores' task of making the Vikings' defense respectable, as well as the attendance of Danielle Hunter and Dalvin Cook at OTA practices. He also talks about competition at cornerback, with Byron Murphy Jr. playing the outside corner in base and inside nickel, and an open competition for the other two starting spots. Finally, Zulgad discusses Kevin O'Connell's work with his offense, including the expected departure of Cook and the move towards a running back by committee approach. Tyler Forness delves into the Vikings' draft haul rankings and the ongoing debate between Daunte Culpepper and Kirk Cousins as the best quarterback for the team.
