BREAKING; Vikings’ Secret Weapon? How Free Agency Moves Could Shake Up Their Draft Strategy

On this episode of Two Old Bloggers, Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano break down the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 offseason, covering everything from bold free agency moves to draft buzz just days ahead of the big event. They dive into GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s offseason strategy, concerns over the left guard position, and how the team’s Top 30 visits offer insight into potential picks. Plus, they explore how head of player health Tyler Williams is helping keep veterans like Aaron Jones on the field, despite age concerns.

Episode Highlights:

• Tyler Williams’ Impact: Some question the signing of aging players like Jonathan Allen and Jones, worried it’s a repeat of the injury-riddled 2015 Colts. But Kevin O’Connell stands by Williams, whose training program helped Jones play all 17 games in 2024 and earned top marks from the NFLPA.
• Draft Intel & QB Room: With 24 Top 30 visits—including Georgia defensive standouts and Stanford TE Ben Yurosek—the Vikings are signaling where they may add depth. J.J. McCarthy is locked in as the 2025 starter, but with backup options like Tannehill fading, the clock may be ticking on addressing that role.
• Left Guard Concerns: Blake Brandel’s inconsistencies have stirred debate. O’Connell is asking for patience, but the door remains open for bringing back Dalton Risner or drafting someone like Ohio State’s Donovan Jackson.
