Yeah, but they have not taken the caliber of corner that they just had sitting in their laps had they wanted.
They need talent on the defensive line. Their corners got beat up so bad because their defensive line was crap.
The Vikings traded the 42nd, the 188th and a 2nd round in 2025 for the 23rd pick and the 232nd pick
Then traded the 23rd, 167th a 3rd and a 4th round pick for the 17th.
So, 17th and 232nd for 42nd, 167th, 188th, 2nd, 3rd and 4th round picks?
That isn't really bad at all to get back up in the top 20 of the draft.
Remember, Minnesota has 6 picks left this draft and possibly 6+ picks in the next draft that isn't 1st round picks. Also next year's draft isn't as good as this year's draft; most future picks are considered the value of the 32nd pick.
Finally, Dallas Turner was considered to be THE top defensive talent in this year's draft.
