 2013 PRE-COMBINE THOUGHTS...

PAUL ALLEN - "The NFL Scouting Combine is where we start to figure out what the Vikings will do with their first-round pick. We chat with insiders and execs and scouts and attain "steam." The buzz in the building is palpable, reading between the lines is en vogue and draft-related answers are there for those who know how to secure them. For 9-to-Noon it truly is the most wonderful time of the year."
PAUL CHARCHIAN - "My previous trip to the NFL combine was as much fun as I've had on the radio. NFL coaches, executives, scouts, and media are never as accessible as they are in this venue. We grab luminaries as they're walking past our radio booth, and hand them a microphone. Past shows have made for some of the most spontaneous radio you'll find. For NFL diehards, like me, it's nerdvana"

JOE NELSON - "The NFL Combine is an opportunity to get the closest look possible at players the Vikings are seriously considering as the No. 23 pick in the draft. Watching NCAA stars like Matt Kalil and Robert Griffin III on TV is one thing, but it's an entirely different beast when they walk by radio row at the Combine. This year we'll get the chance to see safety Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu, linebacker Manti Te'o, wide receiver Robert Woods and so many others. Quite simply, it's speculation central -- and we're one of a handful of radio stations that make the trip to Indianapolis every year."
