That means our first Mock Draft Monday! I'm going straight back to DBU, since the last LSU Tiger we drafted almost broke Randy Moss's single season record in his second season.

On Sunday, like it or not, the Vikings will suit up and play a game against the Chicago Bears. Let's talk about that whole "should they bother winning" talking point.

On today's Locked On, we're crossing over with Lorin Cox of Locked On Bears to argue over whose position you'd rather be in right now? Kirk Cousins and the Vikings are stagnant, but they have some options for how to move forward. The Bears have Justin Fields, but is that operation trending in the wrong direction?

This is it. With no Kirk Cousins, the Vikings got boatraced by the Green Bay Packers to the tune of a 37-10 embarrassment. It was hard to watch, and the franchise is in a dark, dark place. It's probably, almost certainly, over. Mike Zimmer won't be the coach next year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

The Vikings showed up to U.S. Bank Stadium and softly laid down against the Rams. They settled into safety. They failed to slow down Cooper Kupp. They failed to slow down Aaron Donald. Kirk Cousins came out of the game, looked media directly in the eye, and talked about safe throws. With the season circling the drain, the Vikings laid an egg. And now they settle where they belong: out of the playoff picture. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Built Bar Built Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
