Minnesota Vikings News and Links: 7 March 2022

And the week starts again

And, just like that, we have the start of a new week. Yes, I know that you’re all every bit as excited as I am. Hopefully more, to be honest.

Around the world of the Minnesota Vikings

• Akiem Hicks, noted destroyer of Vikings’ offensive linemen, wearing purple this coming season? It’s a possibility, according to CBS Sports.
• Our Mock Draft Database will make its return next weekend as the offseason really gets into full swing.

Around the rest of the league

• The 2022 NFL Scouting Combine is officially over. Here are the winners and losers from each day of the Underwear Olympics, according to NFL dot com.
• The NFL’s official website also has an interesting fit for the Vikings this free agency season.

Media Selection

Again, we all know the rules, but in case someone is new:

• No discussion of politics or religion
• No feeding of the trolls
• Leave the gender hatred at the door
• Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
• Speaking of which, if discussing a newer show or movie, please use spoiler tags
• No pictures that could get someone fired or in serious trouble with their employer
• If you can’t disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away
• While navigating the open thread, just assume it’s sarcasm.
