Rd 1. Banks- 10-12 snaps a game

Rd 2. Golday- special teams

Rd 3. Orange- 10-12 snaps a game

Rd. 3. Thomas-inactive

Rd. 3. Tiernan- inactive

Rd. 5. Demmings- inactive vs Indy

Rd. 5. Bredeson- starting full back

Rd. 6. Claiborne- inactive or little used

Is there a team in the league with a worse draft class? Wasn’t a fan of Kwesi but can’t blame this one on him.

I dont think u can judge this group yet - at least definitively.

Thomas and Claiborne are the most disappointing imo...

Banks/Orange/Golday? I knew they were all projects or were not (in any way) going to beat out the vets in front of them this year for significant playing time (see Dallas Turner.)

Tiernan I knew was going to be a project and Chuck D. to some degree too.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

As well as the defensive line is playing it isn’t really an indictment of orange and banks yet we’ll see what happens if someone gets injured same with gold day

Turner had 300 as a rookie

JJM had zero 🤔

I was asking for an offensive lineman in the 3rd- 5th but someone assured me that we didn't need one.
