Jalen Redmond
What a steal this guy has been. They have to prove they can play in the NFL first, but I think if Banks and Orange stay healthy, by the end of the year, they're going to represent much bigger handfuls than Allen and Hargrave did, and Redmond is going to be the biggest beneficiary.

"How the Vikings keep finding these talented players comes from a lot of different elements. Adofo-Mensah credited assistant general manager Ryan Grigson with finding Jalen Redmond."
Grigson catches a lot of flack, rightfully so or not I don't know, but give credit where credit is due. Redmond has been a find.

Orange being happy in his role will be a big help.

I'm really trying to keep myself down on this, mostly because Big Citrus and Banks are rookies.....both will take a little time, especially Banks as he recovers from foot surgery. Ok, now with the disclaimers aside....wowzer on the potential. Orange seems ecstatic that he's going to be purely NT, our big dawg in the middle. He's got power to unleash yet and that is scary. A Banks-Orange-Redmond front is SUCH an upgrade, at least it will be the latter half of the year and into 2027. The D-line and depth inside is a major plus. Jalen takes down those QBs with extreme prejudice, doesn't he? 😁
He tosses them like rag dolls. If he could make every play like those highlights, Redmond has Pro Bowl potential. Seriously

Now I caution on this new line w/Orange/Banks/Redmond (with solid backups, actually). 2/3 are rookies and correctly, won't "find their way" until the second half of the season.
However I remember last year when Kwesi unloaded the Brinks truck and sign Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargraves and we all thought pretty much the same thing. So caution first.
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.
