Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Vikings fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we told you that there was another SB Nation Reacts survey coming about our Minnesota Vikings and. . .well, here it is! We’ve got a pair of questions for you this week, both of which concern the current roster. After this week, we might shift our focus more towards the 2026 NFL Draft, but for now we’ll keep our eyes on the players who are currently here. Our first question has to do with a player who has been. . .or at least had been. . .the subject of some trade rumors recently, that being edge rusher Jonathan Greenard. Greenard had an outstanding first season with the Vikings in 2024 but had a bit of a drop-off in 2025 as he struggled with some injury issues. With that in mind, do you think it’s in the Vikings’ best interests to trade him to another team? Would your perspective on that change if they could potentially get a first-round pick in exchange for him? The other question, as most things surrounding the Minnesota Vikings seem to do, centers around the quarterback situation. The big move from Eagan since the start of free agency saw the Vikings sign former #1 overall pick Kyler Murray to a one-year deal for the veteran minimum to, presumably, become the starter at quarterback for 2026. What does this mean for current starter J.J. McCarthy? Well, that’s what we want you to tell us. Does the Murray signing mean that the McCarthy era is, in fact, over in Minnesota? As we do for all of our surveys, we invite you to make your voice heard by casting your vote in the poll below as well as sounding off in our comments section. Have at it, ladies and gentlemen! We will have the final results of this week’s poll tallied up for you and ready to reveal at some point over the weekend. See More:

Rams are Super Bowl favorites, but is that ideal?
The Los Angeles Rams have emerged from losing their most recent game by quickly becoming next year’s Super Bowl favorites. As fans is that where you’d rather be, as the favorites, or do you prefer to be under the radar and strike teams from the shadows like the 1999 Rams?

As fans is that where you’d rather be, as the favorites, or do you prefer to be under the radar and strike teams from the shadows like the 1999 Rams? Does pre-season perception of quality have any impact on a team’s actual Super Bowl chances? To be marked on an opposing team’s calendar as “the biggest game of the year”? Or is it just media fluff to fill the NFL news cycle while teams are rebuilding? The Rams were already among Super Bowl favorites before trading for Trent McDuffie and holding onto the 13th pick in the draft, but that move and the addition of Jaylen Watson has L.A. even further ahead of the competition. Or so that’s what they’re saying. Holding onto most, if not all of their important players from last season’s 12-5 team with an appearance in the NFC Championship game hasn’t hurt either. Do you believe the Rams are the team to beat? Is it even close? And would you rather be the favorites or the underdogs? I’ll post some prompts in the comments section below. Post your own answers, reply to other answers, and share with the rest of the community how much you think it matters: Favorites, Underdogs, or Who Cares? See More: Los Angeles Rams Odds
A Dubious Distinction for the Vikings’ 2022 Draft Class
The book officially closed on the Minnesota Vikings’ 2022 NFL Draft class on Tuesday, and not in the way anyone might have imagined it would have when Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell put together their first group of draftees a little less than four years ago. With running back Ty Chandler officially agreeing to a […] The book officially closed on the Minnesota Vikings’ 2022 NFL Draft class on Tuesday, and not in the way anyone might have imagined it would have when Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and Kevin O’Connell put together their first group of draftees a little less than four years ago. With running back Ty Chandler officially agreeing to a deal with the New Orleans Saints on Tuesday afternoon, not one member of the team’s ten-man 2022 draft class got themselves a second contract with the Vikings. They’re not all out of the league or anything, mind you. But not one of them will suit up for the Vikings again after their rookie deals expired. Let’s review the group, shall we? S Lewis Cine – Cine, the team’s first-round pick, broke his leg four games into his rookie season while playing punt coverage. He then appeared in just seven games for the Vikings in 2023, including being a healthy scratch on several occasions, before being one of the team’s final cuts in 2024. CB Andrew Booth Jr. – Booth played in just six games in his rookie season for the Vikings, and followed that up by playing all 17 games in his second year. He was then traded to the Cowboys for Nahshon Wright. He appeared in seven games for the Cowboys and was out of the league in 2025. G Ed Ingram – Ingram started 32 out of 34 possible games at guard for the Vikings in his first two seasons. He then got benched midway through the 2024 season in favor of Dalton Risner. Before the 2025 season, the Vikings traded him to the Houston Texans for a sixth-round pick. Ingram then went on to play well enough for the Texans to earn himself a three-year, $37.5 million contract extension, because of course he did. LB Brian Asamoah – Asamoah played primarily on special teams for the Vikings, never playing more than 11% of the defensive snaps in any of his three seasons with the team. He was waived by the Vikings in August of 2025, and made stops in Tennessee and Las Vegas before landing in Cincinnati, where he played the final four games of last year. CB Akayleb Evans – Evans appeared in ten games as a rookie, and followed that up with a second season that saw him start fifteen games. He was then waived halfway through his third season and was picked up by the Carolina Panthers. He’s still in Carolina, as he signed a one-year deal to stay with them just before free agency started. DL Esezi Otomewo – Otomewo appeared in five games for the Vikings in his rookie season. He was then waived the next year and spent all of 2023 on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice squad. He spent 2024 in Jacksonville, and then moved on to the Pittsburgh Steelers this past season on a one-year deal. He signed another one-year deal with Pittsburgh just before free agency started. RB Ty Chandler – One of just two members of the Class of 2022 to even make it through his entire rookie deal with the Vikings. He appeared in just three games in his rookie season and three games this past season, but played in all 17 games in both 2023 and 2024. He just signed with New Orleans, as we mentioned above. OT Vederian Lowe – Lowe appeared in four games for the Vikings as a rookie in 2022, and was then traded to the New England Patriots in 2023 for a sixth-round pick. He appeared in 42 games for the Patriots with 25 starts (and even caught a touchdown pass), and signed a two-year, $12 million deal with the San Francisco 49ers in free agency last week. WR Jalen Nailor – The other player from the 2022 class to make it through his rookie deal, Nailor was a productive third receiver for much of his time with the Vikings. He agreed to a three-year, $35 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders during the “legal tampering” period of free agency. TE Nick Muse – Muse caught one pass for the Vikings in three seasons, spending most of his time bouncing back and forth from the practice squad to the active roster. The Philadelphia Eagles then signed him to their practice squad, and he was there when they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. (Hey, at least one guy from this draft class got himself a ring.) He’s bounced around to several practice squads since then, and was last with the New York Jets. So that’s it, ladies and gentlemen. . .the sad, awful story of the Minnesota Vikings’ 2022 draft class. It’s pretty bad. I’m not sure if it’s the absolute worst in Vikings’ history from a productivity perspective, but it has to be right down near the bottom. See More: Minnesota Vikings News
Chiefs stick to offense at No. 9 in Daniel Jeremiah’s latest mock draft
The major action of NFL free agency has passed, and football fans are now officially in countdown mode towards the 2026 draft, which begins on Thursday, April 23rd.

In Daniel Jeremiah’s […] The major action of NFL free agency has passed, and football fans are now officially in countdown mode towards the 2026 draft, which begins on Thursday, April 23rd. The Kansas City Chiefs have become one of the mock-draft universe’s favorite teams with an arsenal of picks towards the top of the order. In Daniel Jeremiah’s “mock draft 3.0” for NFL.com, the team uses picks No. 9 and No. 29 to go in a different direction than the status quo. Pick 9Utah, OL, JuniorKansas City ChiefsSpencer Fano — Fano can start immediately at right tackle and eventually kick inside to guard if necessary. The Chiefs will have excellent information on him because of Andy Reid’s relationship with former Utah head coach (and former BYU teammate) Kyle Whittingham. Pick 29 — Tennessee, CB, Sophomore (RS)Kansas City Chiefs (via LAR)Colton Hood The Chiefs land one of the most complete cornerbacks in the draft. Hood can cover and play the run, filling a big void in a secondary that is being rebuilt. My analysis Jeremiah predicts the Chiefs finding a way to immediately boost the offense without the luxury of Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love or Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate on the board; heck, even after Miami right tackle Francis Mauigoa is taken at pick No. 3 as the first offensive lineman selected. Even with the draft’s top two defensive backs available — Ohio State safety Caleb Downs and LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane — Kansas City picks an immediate starter at right tackle, in Jeremiah’s eyes. Fano was the Utes’ starting right tackle for the last two seasons following a year as the primary left tackle in 2023. According to Pro Football Focus premium stats, Fano enters the NFL with 1,616 collegiate snaps at right tackle and 543 at left tackle. Fano is coming off one of the cleanest pass-blocking seasons of any lineman in college football. Over 382 pass-blocking snaps, he did not allow a sack or quarterback hit by PFF’s evaluation. The five total pressures Fano allowed in 2025 were the least of any FBS offensive tackle with at least 300 pass-blocking snaps. In the previous season, he was docked for just allowing one sack and 13 other pressures. He was penalized nine times over those two years. Despite standing at nearly 6 feet 5-1/2 inches tall, Fano registered arm length (32 1/8 inches) shorter than the deal-breaking threshold the Chiefs have seemingly held the roster-building strategy to under head coach Andy Reid. These are the pre-draft measurements of the notable starting tackles in recent franchise history: Starting left tackle Josh Simmons: 33-inch arms Right tackle Jawaan Taylor: 35-1/8 inch arms Left tackle Donovan Smith: 34-3/8 inch arms Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr.: 35-inch arms Right tackle Mitchell Schwartz: 33-1/2 inch arms Left tackle Eric Fisher: 34-1/2 inch arms It’s hard to imagine the organization taking the risk of selecting an outlier with such a high pick, especially considering Fano is already being considered for a move to guard, as Jeremiah points out. As for Kansas City’s selection at pick 29, Colton Hood is one of the youngest prospects in the class after turning 21 years old on February 23. Still, Jeremiah looks at him as an all-around cornerback despite just two years of real playing time in college over three years and three different schools. He finished at Tennessee, where he proved his importance in coverage. For the Volunteers’ defense, Hood was exclusive to covering routes on pass plays; he recorded just one pass-rush snap in 2025, despite recording the second-most defensive snaps on the team (774). That being said, Hood never appeared to shy away from being the point of contact for a ballcarrier. He finished with 20 “Stops” — a tackle PFF categorizes to cause a failure for the offense on the given play — and had the second-most of the non-linebackers for Tennessee. Over 52 passes thrown to his coverage responsibility, only 28 were completed (54% catch rate). Quarterbacks registered a 70.8 passer rating when targeting Hood, and he allowed just one touchdown over 12 games. Measuring in over 5 feet 11 1/2 inches tall and 193 pounds, Hood stood out at the NFL Scouting Combine by posting an official 40-yard dash time of 4.44 seconds, then following it up with elite results in the explosive drills: 40 1/2 inches vertical jump and 10 feet 5 inches in the broad jump. With only one year as a full-time starter under his belt, the redshirt sophomore is clearly profiling as a high-upside pick to be worthy of consideration in the back end of Day 1. Without a deep-dive evaluation, there is a lot in his resume that points to Hood being a stylistic replacement for the departed All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie, although he manned the slot for just 13 of his 774 snaps in 2025.

L.A. Rams News: Team can go offense or defense with 13th pick

They could go upgrade any of their positions, they could take someone to develop (not sure that makes as much sense in 2026 for L.A.), they could trade back for more picks. Once again, like last year, the Rams have put themselves in a position to move like water. They can target who they want, or they can let the board come to them, maybe both? We have some time before the draft, but as long as L.A. still has that 13th pick come draft day, expect all sorts of rumors and guesses as far as how the Rams will draft or what they may use that pick for. Happy Tuesday, thank you for checking out Turf Show Times and comment on whatever you want! Rams give Matthew Stafford another weapon in Mel Kiper Jr.‘s new mock draft (ramswire) “As a result, their roster holes are shrinking by the day, leaving wide receiver as the team’s top remaining need. Luckily for them, there’s still the draft, and the Rams hold the 13th overall pick – a prime spot to add a playmaker. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. released a new mock draft on Tuesday after the first wave of free agency, and he has the Rams taking Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson at No. 13.“ Rams sign ILB Grant Stuard to two-year deal (therams.com) “Stuard, 27, most recently played for the Lions, making 19 total tackles while playing in all 17 regular season games last season. He was also a standout on special teams for Detroit, posting a career-best 83.0 special teams grade according to Pro Football Focus. Prior to that, he spent three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, producing 58 total tackles while starting in 51 of 53 regular season games.“ Random Ramsdom Fandom: “Adams is the perfect fit for the team and his leadership is underrated. I know Father Time gets everyone but he’s not done yet. He wanted to play 2 more years and is getting his wish. HOF WR no doubt but I think he comes to ball out this season and is more motivated than ever because of the rumor” -Jballa2005 “I think looking at Adams you’d have to ask a few questions: “Do the Rams need the cap space that he creates? As of now they don’t. If they trade for a better player than they might, but at the moment they are in a healthy position with the cap so there’s no need to shop him. With some players it could be the future cap space that is enticing, but since they don’t get any future cap savings this is not the case. Do the Rams get better by trading him? I think at this point the answer is no. The impact he had in the Redzone was drastic last year. The amount of attention he garnered on the goal line was crazy. Teams would often double team him as the season went on, making the box that much lighter. This freed up a lot of space for Williams and Corum to work. It wasn’t a coincidence that the amount of FGs increased when Adams went out injured. As of now, trading him makes the Rams worse. Can they get a replacement? They could attempt to in the draft, but this is no guarantee. Also, they don’t need to free up cap space to replace him in this way. Whomever they pick at 13 will virtually cost them the same on their rookie deal and they have plenty of space for their draft class. There is not an upgrade with the existing free agents. There are only two scenarios that make sense to trade Adams. One, they get a godfather offer from a team that is so good that they can’t turn it down. Two, they trade for an upgrade at the position and need the cap space his trade would create. At the moment, neither are true, and one was only possible if an AJ Brown trade happened. This is probably why the Rams even explored the possibility. That doesn’t seem to be happening now, so trading him away would create an unnecessary massive hole in the offense that was number one in the league last year with Adams on the field. Do the Rams need to find an eventual replacement? Yes, as Adams isn’t getting younger, but trading him away doesn’t help with that. It only makes the Rams a worse team in 2026, with minimal to no benefit beyond this season.“ -KYRamFan See More: Los Angeles Rams News
