The Vikings are ready to make a Super Bowl run, and they should sign Jadeveon Clowney to fill a specific, yet impactful role in Brian Flores' defense atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Kevin O'Connell was asked about UDFA RB Tre Stewart and ended up talking about the evaluation process with running backs with a LOT of interesting tidbits atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

The Vikings got a very interesting player in Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in the 5th round. I broke down what he can do, his limitations, and what kind of role he will likely play this year t.co/dOHAestm4k

#Saints fans: Quincy Riley may be the next star cornerback for the Saints. I talked with @therealforno.bsky.social a month ago, and he brought up Riley as one of his favorite prospects in the entire draft. whodatdish.com/setting-stag...

Just three days out from the NFL Draft, I've collected a whopping 564 mock drafts and the direction for the Minnesota Vikings has a consensus atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Built a horizontal board for the Vikings based on where I would take prospects in the NFL Draft

My annual "what I would do" mock draft is live and it will stray from consensus, but that's what makes it fun atozsports.com/nfl-draft/20...

Bonus episode of The Real Forno Show goes live on 20 minutes talking The All Forno Team and favorite NFL Draft prospects with the brilliant @acosta32jp.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/w5BxJyV...

My top 100 big board is out for @atozsports.bsky.social with plenty of surprises in there. Have at it! atozsports.com/nfl-draft/20...

I wrote a Vikings mock draft from the perspective of this is what I would do. It ended up feeling unrealistic, but it only is until it isn't atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

If the Vikings can't trade down, who should be the favorites for the Vikings to take at 24th overall? I used the consensus board we've built at @atozsports.bsky.social to pick the favorites atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

I brought together 30 personalities from around the NFL Draft space to talk about their favorite Day 2 and Day 3 prospects in the 2025 class. Check out 37 unique write-ups for free below! #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2025 #2025NFLDraft Read full: sportstalk.substack.com/p/nfl-draft-...

The Vikings continue to be linked to NDSU OL Grey Zabel, but the leap from the FCS is a big one. I looked at the last 15 years of picks in the first two rounds of non-power four offensive linemen to see what history says about that atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

I did a Vikings mock draft focused on trade downs. Enjoy atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

I wrote about Tyler Booker, why he doesn't make sense for the Vikings, and what that has to do with Garrett Bradbury atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Everything Tyler writes and does is worth reading or listening to. This is one of those pieces you stop what you are doing and dive into it, regardless of your fandom. It’s a great Vikings info but an even better piece of NFL Draft work.

Oh, and we are going LIVE with a bonus episode of The Real Forno Show at 12:05 CT, the first of our SKOL Search series for 2025 www.youtube.com/live/lG1PWhD...

Here it is: an in-depth look at Kwesi Adolfo-Mensah’s first round process and what signals we can use to project forward atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Just wrote 1,300 words on Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's history and process in the first round of the NFL Draft and how we can use it to project forward. It drops in the morning

Really proud of my friend @lukebraunnfl.bsky.social and how he handled covering the Aaron Rodgers stuff today. Make time for this today youtu.be/4jHx_RugmOM?...

Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn't close the door on signing Aaron Rodgers, but what did he really mean? The answer is between the lines atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

With the NFL Draft a month out, I wrote about my who I want the Vikings to take at 24th overall atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

There are some significant shifts in how the Vikings project with the NFL Draft. I dove into the data for @atozsports.bsky.social atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Vikings mock draft selections are getting more and more interesting as time goes on. This last week, it's a lot of secondary players atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

The ball tracking and body control from Luther Burden III is *chefs kiss*

Luther Burden III is a special mover in space

Watching Luther Burden III today and I'm very impressed with his awareness in space. Sees the overhang drop down and uses tempo to get behind him before turning upfield for a big gain

Not a single one of my favorite sports teams makes my life easier

Two weeks into free agency, the Vikings have filled the majority of their needs. What are the biggest needs remaining? I broke them down atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

The reporting nationally on the Vikings feels very disconnected, so I wrote about it atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Another Friday, another 7 round Vikings mock draft atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah found a way to exploit the market once again by trading for RB Jordan Mason and he should pay major dividends immediately atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Man, Xavier/Texas is delivering huge. March Madness is back baby

The footwork and vision from Jordan Mason are outstanding

I have collected industry mock draft data since January 1st. So far, there have been 321 mock drafts with 41 unique prospects -12 of those prospects have been defensive backs with 167 total selections (52%) atozsports.com/nfl/minnesot...

Programming note: No episode of The Real Forno Show tonight due to logistical issues. We will have a show at some time tomorrow.
