Kenyon Sadiq 4.39

We need young, D blue chip talent and a RB.

They just can't rely on BFlo working the same schematic magic again in 26 + I'd like to see us rush w/out having to blitz so often.

Tier 1 need: IDL/CB (this assumes Allen, Hargrave both gone)

Tier 1a need: ILB/RB
- Jones Sr is done
- IPJ starting? No thx and Cashman will miss games again, Wilson wrong side of 30.

Tier 2 need: TE, everything else but kicker

Pats and Seahawks both made the SB with strong D's. 

Vikings strength is defense and it needs some fresh, starting  blood!

Kenyon Sadiq, the tight end for the Oregon Ducks, has made a significant impact in the 2025 season with his impressive performance. However, he has also faced challenges, including six drops during the season.

That's six drive killers...

Sadiq  game doesn't match his measurelables. Freak athlete that disappears.

Same people that were  high on nix, are not high on Sadiq.

You forgot Safety in that mix,   definitely a day 1 or early day 2 need.

Yup - definitely 1/1a

Makes me wonder if the Viking would be a Safety FA player for Nick Cross (Colts)...

I know he's on the younger side, not sure of scheme fit?

SI says:
Colts safety Nick Cross hits free agency after recording 120 total tackles—fourth among safeties—2.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one interception in 2025. At just 24 years old, Cross is one of the youngest players hitting free agency, adding to his upside.

No need to get excited, Vikings looking at day 3 TE’s in this draft….

Isn't Cross more a Strong Safety than a Free Safety? Seems to me he's a tackling machine that is more comfortable near the line.  I've seen some rumblings of Bryan Cook who might be a better fit for our needs going forward.
