I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if they either traded back tonight, or used the third (and fifth) to move up in the second.
Guess it depends on who’s still there?

Agree. The Vikes would probably love to trade back but will likely have a hard time finding a partner. The Browns and Giants might be interested in swapping their early second round picks to move up to Vikings spot.
I hope they don't get infatuated in moving back just to grab extra picks. They filled enough of their needs in free agency to just take the best player available. If a good trade down presents itself fine, but don't do it just because you don't think four picks isn't enough. If it's the right four picks that's what matters.

I can get on board with this pick. help for Mccarthy
Kiper nailed #24. We needed a guard and got a very good one. Great pick by Kwesi.

Can’t have a good enough offensive line. Have to protect the QB and create running lanes.

Supposedly, there is concern about his long term health. Schefter said that teams are worried about his longevity
I thought they would go with Emmanwori, but Jackson’s name was also menioned quite often pre-draft. Will Johnson’s knee must be an issue.

I would like that. Not much draft capitol though.
BTW, noticed that one of the apps I was tracking the Draft on labeled Donovan Jackson’s NFL Comparison as “Keleche Osemele”.
Agree, but I don’t think Kwesi will dip into a next year’s picks. Unfortunately he’ll sit tight and take a safety at #97. Seen OU’s Billy Bowman, Texas’ Mukuba or maybe Ransom out of Ohio St. mentioned.

I don't get why Bowman is rated so high. He's too small and got beat pretty bad a few times at the Senior Bowl. Sebastian Castro would be a good pick at 97.
Castro is slightly bigger, but also slower than most of the safeties in the area the Vikes will be drafting.
About the only thing they could do is package their 5th and 6th rounders for a 4th.
I don't think they even have much ammo with 2026 picks. They are in line to get a couple 4th or 5th round compensatory picks but I think they only have a 1st, 2nd, 3td and 7th right now...or a 1st, a 3rd and two 5ths. I saw two different things when I looked it up.
Yup. Vikes have really beefed up the offensive line to help JMac in his first season
