Kwesi is very likable and obviously intelligent. I hope he nails it as the Vikings GM. Mostly because that would mean his decisions are great, but also because he’s likable.

[@pierrekid]

He’s amazing.

[@dicxp6923]

he chill af

[@dylanerickson377]

That windbreaker is fire

[@mannybeltrand2868]

what is it can you tell me what it is and where to but it pls

[@dylanerickson377]

I couldn’t tell ya bud. I tried to look online but couldn’t find it.

[@jhipstyle77able]

Looking as well and can't find it

[@samwilcox10]

It's some sort of Anorak. No clue the brand tho

[@calculatedrisk1]

I swear if there was an award for best dressed franchise, KAM & KOC would win lol…

[@chillywilly2913]

Kwesi is going to lead this team to the promised land

[@tommygreenthumbs]

Fuckin love listening to KAM talk. Now lets put it into practice and bring one home for Minnesota! Skol from Texas.

[@aaronnoetzelman149]

Can he draft good players. Skol from Texas

[@tommygreenthumbs]

@@aaronnoetzelman149 so far, it's definitely hit and miss. More miss than anything unfortunately lol but we shall see!

[@aaronnoetzelman149]

@tommygreenthumbs No idea what will happen but I like our chances of hitting a QB

[@alecrechtiene558]

@@aaronnoetzelman149you have to think, GMs are gonna swing and miss on a few players. 2 drafts is way too small of a sample size. I think his second draft was good while his first draft really wasn’t, but hindsight is 2020.

[@aaronnoetzelman149]

@alecrechtiene558 let see if Kwesi can cook...

[@pierrekid]

I like Paul Allen but a bit much “joking” and over talking a bit. I prefer when he allows the guest to talk more instead of over talking. Kind of a great opportunity squandered. Again I like him just saying.

[@ericdobson4669]

Great conversation

[@danielvansteenwyk493]

I love Paul. Paul is Minnesota Vikings football.

[@Daniel-wr7jw]

The more I hear kwesi the more I like him.

[@spindog9600]

I'm so excited this year!!! I can't wait for another 7-10 season!!!😮

[@jeffreyfightingillini]

Would like to know do what the fans mock for players affect his decision making on players. Could it bump up or down a player. When you evaluate statistics provided by pff or any other mock boards?

[@juliovikings28]

I love the hat and jacket!! I need to go check them out at the Vikings online store.

[@user-wt5ng4nx2c]

I want to hear from Kwesi, Paul Allen talks like he’s found a monologue.

[@lizardjama9834]

KAM just had a real interview just before this. This is just shooting the shit

[@clintonreisig]

Let KWESI cook 🔥

[@martymcfly7473]

If KOC and BFLO stay together we’ll win a championship. SKOL4LIFE

[@SoggyWaffles20]

If this dude can nail this draft. I will forgive his sins over the past two years.

[@chuckurso593]

And there are a lot of them. He thinks he is where he should be 2 years in but his drafts have put him 2 years behind for they have sucked. He has landed only a few good picks and he better get it right this year.

[@chavez3594]

Penix welcome to Minnesota

[@jonathoncouchey7151]

He's my no 2 qb

[@Wolf-qh2lk]

I'd be cool with that. Don't want to give up next year's #1!

[@StillKeepOnLosing]

? No way. Vikes is the House of Blinde Politicians. They're taking JJ McCarthy who talks and act like... A Politician.

[@MagicIke]

Yes and also Bo nix come on down, draft them all.

[@HalfTonChevy]

If Penix stays healthy. He is the steal of the draft. All these guys can win in the nfl. I won't be disappointed if we end up with Nix or Rattler.

[@bzo3001]

Lets SKOL

[@johnrock6480]

Bring us a Super Bowl winning qb KAM and KOC. Would love JJ. Although Penix Jr to JJ for an 80 yard td sounds really good too.

[@mattlucht3829]

Kwesi u fuckin Rock!! U are makin Super Leaps and have gotten 100,000,000 X's better In quick amount of time!! I as a fan appreciate u as, a GM, also as a kick ass GM that welcomes and keeps your strategy. I've been watched Vikes since 1983-1984. That was my earliest memories. This GM and coach Combo is the best I've seen. Letz keep it rockin and get your guy. Definitely have complete confidence in u and KO!! #VIKINGSNATION #SKOL

I want that windbreaker jacket!

[@elilandrum2017]

Yo that floating spinning helmet thing is fire what is that?

[@vikings_fans_anonymous]

We already know what Penix looks like in purple…js 🤷‍♂️

[@marvinwilliams5490]

Good advice draft penix at 11 trade back from 23 get extra draft capital at 25 draft chop robinson with extra picks in 2nd or 3rd get your DT .or OL

[@isaiah5752]

Ew no

[@punisher5598]

Why even make the trade to 23 if you would just trade back? The extra picks you would get would just be your original 2nd picks?

[@Tiredashelljoe107]

Penix at 11. Best BPA at 23.

[@Tiredashelljoe107]

Haha yeah I’ll comment first on my own comment. You don’t like my draft choices? Let’s argue

[@HalfTonChevy]

Not revealing who I want. Gonna be boom!!

[@stonerviking4079]

Hope Kwesi doesn't give up next years first rounder to trade up. I'd be perfectly happy staying put and drafting Penix at 11

[@sheesshhhhhh]

Assuming he'd be there at 11.

[@jgiza8888]

If he lands the QB of the future, the 2022 draft and not trading Hunter for draft capital are forgotten and he TOTALLY REDEEMED HIMSELF.

[@lizardjama9834]

Did he reference the Nabers thing?

[@ricklong3260]

Michel pennix os a Sam Bradford - Davenportish proposition .. he is.a major risk😮

[@dylandotson4952]

Major risk when he hasn’t been injured in two years. Do your own research before you sound uninformed. SKOL

[@ShifuP]

Drake Maye or JJ Mccarthy welcome to Minnesota 😊

[@pigspigs76]

Kawhi Leonard is great in the context of a great team, perfect example of the best of a player being brought out through effective leadership

[@pigspigs76]

Fit so well with the raptors on a chip run, bench players elevating their game to impress him on the sideline doing the first run of ‘load management’ 😂

[@daviddidder3781]

Get to pick 5 NOW. Call AZ bluff at 4. Be OK selecting MHJr. at 5 if AZ trades out. Franchise tag JJettas next year, acquiring two firsts from Cincy or Buffalo etc. trade back into pick 30 or so if Nix is there. 🤯🤯🤯 QB4 at 5 otherwise.

[@LemonInYourEyes]

8:55 He cookin'

[@ChonseeTV]

Best Free Agent QB wore number 7 with the 49ers, that's who you all should get. No one fears Sam Darnold.

Go D, give Flores huge raise and gi for 9 to 6 wins. No Mahomes in this draft. KAM don't overthink yourself.

[@kameronerdman5870]

“TOUCHDOWWNNNNN, JJ TO JJ!” Will be a future Paul Allen call

[@TristanandIsolt]

At pick 11 would be nice. Otherwise Penix or Nix or Maye to JJ would be better.

Unfortunately there is no Mahomes in the draft for us. Gotta go big D in the draft with 11 and 23. We will never get a Favre again. Live with it.

[@Anonymous-it4ie]

Thank God you’re not the GM of the Vikings. Your lack of football IQ is on full display, you’d settle for years of mediocre play and no franchise elevation. Pathetic.

[@karlcalvert9924]

Let your guest speak! You cut him multiple times. We watched to hear our GM speak, not you, buddy.

[@CobrasFireRockPodcast]

I have to believe Paul Allen has never listened/watched himself. Cringe.
