Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Friday March 26th, 2021

Good Morning!

So the Vikings traded a 6th round pick to the Cardinal for a C/Guord, normally I’d think he’d be a backup/depth but looking at his pff grades he’s better than what was put on the field last year...so pencil him in as a starter for now. Meanwhile we’ll carry on with our news and links open thread full of crockpot recipes, nap strategies and beer recommendations; drop by for some fan wisdom, snark and it’s weekend eve time to, plan the beer and meat menu for the weekend, unless you’re working this weekend.
