I don't think our Interim GM can be accused of playing it safe. Seems seems like the staff did their homework, played it smartly and checked almost all the boxes (no WR)

RD (PK)PlayerSchoolPOS

1 (18) Caleb Banks Florida. DT

2 (19) Jake Golday Cincinnati LB

3 (18). Domonique Orange Iowa State. DT

3 (33). Caleb Tiernan Northwestern. OT

3 (34) Jakobe Thomas Miami S.

5 (19) Max Bredeson Michigan. FB/TE

5 (23) Charles DemmingsStephen F. Austin. CB

6 (17). Demond ClaiborneWake Forest. RB

7 (19)

I don't think any/many of these were mocked to Minnesota but this speaks volumes about planning to play smash mouth football. This draft has a different feel than the last few.

Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

Brass balls it and pick the old miss DT Harris. Completely rework that room.

Con: No WR, token C with no actual chance at 235, and IMO Banks could have been had with a trade down. I don't like the value of Bredeson at 159 but I'll forgive that because we still got Claiborne.

Pro: Double-down with Orange at DT, Golday, Claiborne.

Better than any of the Kwesi drafts, but room for improvement.
