<br />
== Mailbag Questions ==<br />
* Rahul - Since we're the angriest fan base in the league, predict the next move that will leave us screaming into the void (years)<br />
* Anonymous - Looks like a good amount of room to trade back in this draft. How far back do we need to trade down to receive a 2nd round pick back?<br />
* Reuben Frost - A lot was made of Kwesi taking a 'discount' last year to move down. Is there a long term advantage to taking this discount because, as the league shifts to lower compensation for moving down, moving up finally becomes strategically viable?<br />
* Ingram's left foot - Which member of Vikings Twitter would you want negotiating your next contract? What would they actually be promoting instead?<br />
* Luke Braun - Who wears 0 for the vikings? Who do you wish could have worn 0 for the vikings?<br />
* Brian - What will they name after Bud Grant?<br />
* Enthusiasm - Why exactly is KJ not good enough to be WR2?<br />
* Kenneth Allen - What do you make of the reporting of the Vikings' interest in Lamar? Is it just fan wishcasting?<br />
* Paul - What happens first? Twins playoff game win or Vikings Super Bowl win? What do you have against Tanner McKee?<br />
* The Real Jak - For Arif's Side Hustle Corner, how long has he been moonlighting as the Bengals backup RB? Yes I'm talking about Samaj Perine<br />
* Chris - What is a Kwesi-ism that you think you could successfully blend into conversation without people noticing?<br />
* Nolan Kehler - Which is Mina Kimes' best performance: Black Swan or Forgetting Sarah Marshall?<br />
<br />
== Key Bits & Lore ==<br />
* Arif's Side Hustle Corner referenced regarding resemblance to Bengals RB Samaj Perine<br />
