My work takes me to Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut this week, where the people are warm, the climate usually isn't and Internet connection can sometimes be cranky.
While I'm here and free of evening family duties, I hope to get some blogging done from the real frozen tundra (Lambeau Field and the old Met have nothing on this place) - a region the actual Vikings are believed to have visited before heading onto to warmer climes a few thousand years ago.
Anyway, today's blog isn't about the historical Vikings but about modern times and the upcoming draft for the Minnesota Vikings.
It's a bit of a fool's errand to even try to do a mock draft of the first round of this meat market considering how things never seem to go as planned.
Obviously, Wes Bunting doesn't mind being foolish, as he published a mock draft for rounds one, two and three on Monday.
And his call on the Vikings first three picks? Offensive tackle Eben Britton, cornerback D.J Moore and free safety Darcel McBath.
I'm down with the Vikings selecting Britton and Moore, but I wonder if the Vikings would select a safety that high when they've already got Madieu Williams and Tyrell Johnson in the fold.
Oh well, it won't matter anyway when the Vikings trade their first and third round picks, plus Chad Greenway, for Jay Cutler.

That's the second draft I've seen today that has the Vikings taking Britton. I didn't even know who the guy was yesterday.
And yeah, I can't see us taking a safety on day 1.
I've ever seen Britton play (like most of these draftees) but from what I'e read he's a great talent whose arms are short, so he's not cut out to be a left tackle. We've already got McKinnie, so that's okay. Britton would slide over to right tackle and solve the Cook/Hicks problem.
I got a nice Peterson jersey from sport-jerseys.biz.
