Welcome to Episode 261 of the Minnesota Vikings Podcast presented by Pepsi – Made for Vikings watching!  The Combine is over and NFL Free Agency is about to kick in.  Gabe Henderson and Tatum Everett welcome in Assistant Director of Player Personnel Chisom Opara to the show to help breakdown what it takes to find the newest members of the 2024 Minnesota Vikings in the upcoming NFL Draft.  Chisolm reflects on the urgency needed during the evaluation process, the delicate balance of weighing both one-on-one player interviews and on-field performances, and the ways he feels the front office helps empower both he and his fellow evaluators during their extensive vetting process.  Plus, Gabe and Tatum talk about the looming roster decisions that will be made over the next few weeks and react to the news of Alexander Mattison’s release from the roster earlier this week.  All of this and more is in Episode 261 of the Minnesota Vikings Podcast presented by Pepsi – Made for Vikings watching!
