QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Pondering Ponder’s Value
March 30th, 2011 Adam Warwas Posted in 2011 NFL Draft, Features, Main, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions As we get closer and closer to April’s Draft (please, just get here already) I am beginning to sense that perhaps nobody’s stock is rising faster than Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder who had a private workout with the Vikings brass on Tuesday. Ponder has long been considered a second round pick by the draftnik [...]

They got Brett Favre killed. They were continuously flagged. They struggled to open any substantial holes for Adrian Peterson. Then they all got [...]
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: The Governor
As has often been the way of it this offseason, the “Quote of the Week” is in regards to the ongoing stadium situation. This week, it comes from Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton. “We need a people’s stadium. Not a Vikings stadium. Not somebody else’s stadium.

March 28th, 2011 Adam Warwas Posted in 2011 NFL Draft, Features, Main, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions Now that the NFL has handed out their compensatory draft picks, the final Draft order is set. The Vikings have one pick in each the first, second, and fourth rounds. After that, the Vikings have two picks in each the fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds of April’s Draft. Here is what the Vikings have: Round [...]
Vikings Fans Come From Everywhere
I do my best to read every single comment on Vikings Gab and usually try to get involved in the conversations myself. A while back, I noticed we had a regular visitor here at Vikings Gab that goes by the name “Malte.” He is from Denmark. After reading quite a few of Malte’s comments I [...]
Vikes Land Two Compensatory Picks
March 25th, 2011 Adam Warwas Posted in 2011 NFL Draft, Features, Main, News, NFL Draft, Offseason, Opinions I have been long predicting that the Vikings would be awarded two compensatory draft picks in the 2011 Draft, and it turns out I was right. I am a little disappointed, however, because I thought they would get a fifth rounder and a sixth rounder. Instead, they were awarded a sixth rounder (#200) and seventh [...]
