Reasons to be excited about the number two


The time is getting closer to the draft and for today my favorite number is two. As you will see the number 2 is a busy number.

The date today is Thursday April 11th and in TWO weeks we will finally have the draft. The day in a day out mock drafts can finally be done. I admit they are fun to read but in reality does anybody really know who is going to what team and what number? The draft day trades can really cause havoc. The only one who knows is the team themselves.

The number TWO is the amount of number one picks the Vikings have in the first round.  I am still convinced a trade will move the Vikings up but for now the team has TWO.

The number 2 also shows up in 23 at that is the amount of potential first round draft picks that have been invited to Radio Hall in New York City on the 25th. We have more 2’s in the date of the draft with the 25th, 26th and 27th.

The preseason dates were released and the Vikings will be playing on Friday August 9th at home vs the Houston Texans. I mention this because after Thursday there are 120 days left until the first game. Once again a two in involved with the days left.

Antoine Winfield who wears 26 is torn between Seattle and Minnesota. This is tough for me because not only is he a fantastic player, he is a class guy to the public when it comes to meeting him at Training Camp. The smile he wears on his face is so refreshing to see a guy really enjoy what he does. The selfish fan I am would love him to stay but if not I wish him the best. He will go down in my mind as the best free agent the team has signed in many years. I can say this whether he stays or goes.

The Vikings have 11 draft choices. If you add the two ones in eleven you one again have 2. This number 2 is crazy and fun to look at.
