Vikings Draft Overreactions: Center, WR, Edge Depth—and What Jake Golday Brings to Brian Flores’ Defense — On The Real Forno Show, Tyler Forness and producer Dave discuss post-draft overreactions around the Minnesota Vikings, focusing on three issues: not drafting a meaningful center (reaffirming the team’s commitment to Blake Brandel as a full-time center), not drafting a wide receiver (amid reported misses on targets and a visit from free agent Jauan Jennings), and the belief that Dallas Turner simply replaces Jonathan Greenard (with concern that the real problem is lost rotational edge snaps and thin edge depth, with Jadeveon Clowney suggested as a fit). They then break down rookie Jake Golday’s fit in Brian Flores’ scheme, arguing he projects best as a versatile off-ball “tweener/joker” piece—blitzing, covering, and occasionally setting the edge—rather than as edge rusher three, likely needing a developmental year with limited packages and special teams.
