Who Should Vikings Take at 18? The Top 5 Options | The Real Forno Show🎙️🏈

from Vikings 1st & SKOL: A Minnesota Vikings podcast · host FFSN

Vikings Draft Countdown: McCarthy Trade Rumors, Top 5 Targets, and a 7-Round BPA Mock — Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano preview the Minnesota Vikings’ draft with 10 days remaining, outlining extensive live draft-week coverage, revisiting Forness’ Vikings-specific top five draft options, and stressing media literacy amid viral speculation that the Vikings could trade J.J. McCarthy to the Rams for pick 61; Forness explains it came from analyst speculation, not sourced reporting. He updates his top targets to include CBs Avieon Terrell and Jermod McCoy (with discussion of McCoy’s knee and Flores’ secondary priorities), WR KC Concepcion as a potential WR3 and Addison insurance, LB CJ Allen as an ideal Flores fit and future starter, and Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq as his No. 1 option and the only reported first-round-type top-30 visit. They finish with a no-trades BPA seven-round mock featuring Sadiq, DT Lee Hunter, EDGE Malachi Lawrence, and other depth/special teams additions. 00:00 Show Agenda Preview 01:23 Draft Week Live Schedule 04:02 Rumor vs Speculation 06:40 McCarthy Trade Reality 11:07 Top Five Picks Intro 11:58 Cornerbacks Terrell & McCoy 16:32 Flores Secondary Philosophy 21:23 Casey Conception WR Fit 27:21 Trade Up Depth Debate 28:45 CJ Allen Linebacker Case 31:10 O Line Center Talk 31:49 Center Value Debate 32:50 Guard Replaceability Talk 33:36 Why Not OLine At 18 34:49 Darrisaw’s Knee And Cap 38:16 O'Neill Extension Timing 40:03 Post Draft Free Agency 41:18 Kenyon Sadiq Visit Buzz 45:59 Tight End Height Debate 49:53 BPA Mock Draft Run 57:10 Mock Draft Recap 58:24 Show Wrap And Signoff _____________________________________________________________ ⭐️ Subscribe to us here! - https://www.youtube.com/@vikings1stskol92 ⭐️ Our Twitter can be found at @Vikings1stSKOL ⭐️ Our Discord at https://discord.com/invite/493z6mQXcN ⭐️ Tyler Forness can be read at A to Z Sports - https://atozsports.com/nfl/minnesota-vikings-news/ ⭐️ Submit questions: forms.gle/7LJkCAern9kdUkuD8 ⭐️ On Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/vikings1standskol ⭐️ Watch the live show here: https://youtu.be/p_1gp5qjxGU Fan With Us!!!
