00:00One week after we predicted who might be the next Vikings backup quarterback,
00:04he is officially available.
00:06How and who?
00:08Let's talk about it.
00:11The Minnesota Vikings have a needed backup quarterback,
00:14and it's been evident for a while.
00:16They could have gone the Aaron Rodgers route, and they chose not to.
00:19They could have kept either Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones.
00:21They failed to do both.
00:23And because they were unable to keep those guys,
00:25they have an obligation to get a better veteran to pair with J.J. McCarthy.
00:31Now, they could have kept Nick Mullins,
00:32but he chose to follow Grant Udinski over to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
00:37And because he chose to follow Udinski, well, now we're in a good spot.
00:42Good is relative here, but they have to find something.
00:45It was initially thought compensatory picks might have been a huge factor here,
00:48but it just wasn't.
00:51Let's talk about what is.
00:53They haven't found the right guy yet.
00:54I think the right guy is Sam Howell from the Seattle Seahawks.
00:59One of the reasons why it's Sam Howell?
01:01Well, let's think about it.
01:02He's gritty.
01:03He's tough.
01:04He's willing to stand in there and make the tough throws.
01:07And that is something that you can work with as a backup quarterback.
01:10Plus, he's got legs.
01:12Now, there are things that are going to be detrimental to Sam Howell.
01:16Let's just be real here.
01:19You took 65 sacks in his one starting season with the Washington Commanders.
01:24That's not going to fly.
01:26You can't do that.
01:28You can't do that.
01:31You have to be able to get the ball out quicker.
01:33And the Minnesota Vikings are going to demand that.
01:37But he's the backup.
01:37You don't have to worry about him.
01:39He's the guy that comes in and helps you if you need it.
01:43And you know what?
01:45The cost of that could be super cheap.
01:50What could it be?
01:53Seventh?
01:53Wrong pick swap?
01:55You have 187.
01:56You get 215.
01:58That sounds pretty good.
01:59And you know what?
02:01It'd be a great deal for the Vikings.
02:02It'd be great for the Seahawks because they just brought in Drew Locke.
02:05The Vikings could finally have their guy.
02:09I'm Tyler Fornes with Diddy's Esports.
02:12Let's go Vikings.
