Disappointing to lose but we played toe to toe with a team many think can make the playoffs this year. The run game still isn’t great but the defense has definitely improved. Levern White continues to impress.

Go Badgers

I’m definitely losing to Ball State

Wait wut

The Vikings have cut down to 53

The Vikings place ILB Abdoul Gordon 6-1 217 1 Kentucky [Mike] [0] 79 on IR with a sever achilles rupture in week 3 of the preseason. He is done for the season.

Vikings place FB Zahir Willis 6-1 217 R Nebraska [Run Blocking] [0] 80 on IR with a severe foot fracture in preseason week 1. He is out 12 weeks (9 regular season weeks).

The Vikings place on IR OLB Mike Johnson 6-0 240 5 Houston [Coverage] [0] 84 with a moderate achilles rupture in training camp. He is out 16 weeks (12 regular season weeks).

It’s been said already but the best and worst player grades is one of the cooler things to be added to the site recently.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN This past weekend, the 2022 NFLHC Draft took place. Our Vikings has the ninth pick in the first round and added 11 players to their roster. Today, they introduced them. DE Sebastian Smallwood 6-1 254 R Alabama [Blitz] [-1/C] 82 The Vikings added a much needed stud to their defensive line. With one of the worst pass rushes in the league last season, it was no surprise the see this pick made. There was some speculation that the Vikings would look at DT or RB at this spot, but instead Smallwood was the pick made, which received high grades from fans and media alike. RB Evan Grant 6-0 194 R Georgia State [Power] [0] 81 The Vikings did go running back in the second round, where they traded up to 34 to select Evan Grant out of Georgia State. Other teams such as the Texans and Bills were reportedly interested in the player which forced the Vikings into moving up. The pick was somewhat controversial, as some liked the pick as it Grant broke rushing records at Georgia State and it also showed a sign of what direction new GM Jamzz plans on taking the team, while others viewed it as too much of a risk as Grant was one of the bigger unknowns in the draft in addition to a slow 40 time. CB Levern White 5-9 162 R Toledo [Man Coverage] [0] 78 The Vikings added to their secondary in the third round with corner Levern White out of Toledo. Despite his small size, he fits the man coverage scheme the Vikings are looking to push their corners towards. Some have speculated that this could be the beginning of the end of Tomas Weathers' time in Minnesota, as White could take over as slot corner early on, and in addition Weathers has made it clear that he is unhappy with his role on the team. OLB Devin Goss 5-11 247 R Michigan [Blitz] [-3] 76 The Vikings took the first of their three fourth round picks on Devin Goss. Goss will add to the Vikings depth at OLB, which they had very little of previously. There have been reports that Goss is not the best locker room presence despite his gaudy stats at Michigan, so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. FS Damani Sheppard 5-11 214 R Stanford [Man Coverage] [0] 79 With their next pick the Vikings brought in safety Damani Sheppard. After recently trading Stephen Elliott, the Vikings are expected to start Eric Sochia at FS, meaning Sheppard will most likely be the backup early on in his career. He appears to be capable of stepping in early on in his career if need be. FB Zahir Willis 6-1 217 R Nebraska [Run Blocking] [0] 80 With their final selection of the fourth round, the Vikings made their move on fullback Zahir Willis. With no fullbacks on the roster coming into the draft, we should expect to see Willis start from the position day one. He brings a big help in the run game, which is sure to please fellow rookie Evan Grant. K Sam Gilligan 5-10 219 R Penn State [Accuracy] [0] 81 The Vikings got the player that is expected to be their next kicker in Sam Gilligan. This move was welcomed by many Vikings fans as it meant Ilan Youngblood's time with the team was ended. Gilligan only has one year of starting experience as Penn State had previously gone with A.K. McGowan, who was drafted last season. QB Blair Holcomb 5-11 207 R Buffalo [Pocket] [-1] 79 The Vikings brought in what could just be their QB of the future, or possibly just their backup for the time being, in Blair Holcomb. Holcomb was a highly rated JUCO transfer two seasons ago when he chose to go to Buffalo. He performed very well over his career with the Bulls despite the coaching staff having serious upheaval his senior season. He'll be expected to compete for the backup job along with Cody Albright, Julius Thomas, and new signing Blake Shell. TE Patrick Baxter 6-7 235 R Harvard [Receiving] [+2/C] 71 In the sixth round the Vikings went to the FCS were they grabbed Patrick Baxter. As I'm sure you've heard, he graduated near the top of his Harvard class and is a true student of the game. He's also viewed as a great locker room presence, so we'll have to see if that's enough to beat out Patrick Stehl or new signing James Chandler for a roster spot. WR Chris Burgos 6-3 217 R Kansas [Target] [+1] 70 In the final round, the Vikings added Chris Burgos out of Kansas. As a late round pick, he'll have to fight for a roster spot as many view him as a practice squad talent at best. Either way, he'll get his shot to prove his worth during training camp. KR Hayden Walls 5-10 176 R Boise State [Specialist] [0] 76 With their final pick, the Vikings made an interesting selection by taking a kick return specialist in Hayden Walls. It is yet to be seen whether or not Walls will make the 53 as a kick return specialist, if he can potentially help out at wide receiver, or if the pick was just an experiment that the Vikings will be finished with after training camp. table { width: 100%; border-spacing: 0; } table td { padding: 3px; } tr { background-color: #FFF; } tr:nth-child(even){ background-color: #EAEAEA; } table.boxscore tr { background-color: #fff; } table.boxscore td { font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 90%; text-align: center; border: 1px solid #D3D3D3; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; } table.boxscore td:first-of-type { border-left: 0px; } table.boxscore tr:first-of-type td, table.boxscore tr:last-of-type td { border-bottom: 0px; } table.compare td { font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 80%; text-align: center; } table td.block { height: 35px; text-align: center; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 100%; background-color: #00004c; color: #fff; font-weight: bold; } table td.teamspecific { width: 49%; min-width: 400px; display:inline-block; } table td.teamspecific td.stat{ text-align: left; } table td.teamspecific td.name{ text-align: left; } table td.teamspecific td.stat.name{ width: 11%; background-color: #BBB; font-weight:bold; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 80%; } table td.teamspecific td.label { width: 35%; background-color: #BBB; font-weight: bold; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 80%; text-align: left; } @media (max-width: 840px) { table td.teamspecific{ width: 100%; } }

OLB Felix Hinojosa 6-2 245 (Sr) Bishop Dwenger (Fort Wayne, IN) 4.0 of 4.0 [Blitz] is on my 2022 progression, he was an early dec and was drafted by the Ravens.

Good hire
