DJ's first mock draft - MaroonBells - 01-25-2025
Hard to see the Vikings going safety here. Love the player though.

Pick 24 Minnesota Vikings
Malaki Starks Georgia · S · Junior
Starks didn’t make as many plays as we’re accustomed to seeing from him in 2024, but people at Georgia rave about his intangibles, leadership and work ethic. He has the versatility to play over the top or cover the slot.

Lol
Another Dawg S???
ps
Love the player too. But not a S at 24, with desperate needs elsewhere.

If that would be the pick, I would rather trade down for extra picks.

Has Kwesi done anything to improved his scouting and drafting department? Cuz if not trading down would be disastrous

Yup, something aint right...
I dont know where the problem is (Grigson? KAM? Other?? All??) but I hope at least internally they have identified this as a big problem to solve. It's not sustainable..

Their pro scouting have been great with JG, Gink and Cash. If they can get their college scouting figured out we’ll be good.

Considering the amount of picks we had, the performance of players we could have had ((Hamilton), the performance of the players we selected, and the trade down return, the 2022 was maybe the worst draft in the history of the franchise. Actually, no maybe there at all. It just was.
But after that it doesn't look too bad really. We don't know anything about 2024 yet. But 2023 wasn't bad at all with Addison and Blackmon. A year later, Bleacher Report graded it the 10th best draft of 2023.

I would take my chances with trading down than to take a safety at pick 24 in the first round.

LOL, buddies with Cine?

I really don't put much validity into mock drafts, especially this early and before free agency. Signing free agents usually changes the needs for all teams, Vikings included. If certain needs are met through free agency, other needs can be addressed through the draft.
