I don't have ESPN+ but saw this out there:

Walder: Vikings-Jets trade good move for both teams (ESPN+)
This is when it makes sense to trade up. A small move to land a sliding quarterback when you're a QB-needy team with other QB-needy teams sitting right behind you. The Vikings just altered the course of their franchise for, relative to other quarterback trade-ups, a cheap price. The Vikings paid an extra fourth-round pick's worth of value to move up the one spot, according to ESPN's draft pick valuations. But we can't judge trade-ups for quarterbacks on the same scale as everything else; the upside of a QB hitting is like no other position -- it makes sense to pay more for it.


Walder: Vikings' second trade not nearly as good as the first (ESPN+)
If we assume future picks are in the middle of the round and apply a 10% discount, Minnesota surrendered an early second-round pick of extra value to select Alabama edge Dallas Turner. That's bad! By my count, out of 93 first-round non-QB trades since 2004, this is the ninth-most-expensive trade-up according to ESPN draft pick valuations, despite it occurring in the middle of the round. And that's probably generous because the Vikings have a rookie QB -- which means there's a decent chance they are drafting at the beginning of rounds next year. And they shouldn't be advancing draft picks in time because they aren't Super Bowl contenders right now!

A huge physical corner for Flores to coach up. Nice pickup.

Hey, Todd. Do you like him as a corner or a safety?

I’d love to see him groomed into a safety.

Rouse, T. Looked like a lead footed Stay-Puff man in a few highlights.

CB Kyrie Jackson

I guess they had a preference.

FWIW Dorius goes next.

"Smothering height, length abd size for the position...Scheme versatile and most comfortable in competitive scenarios coming from press and man...Closes quickly and knows how to use his wingspan to disrupt passing lanes and timing...Terror shooting through blocking on screens and sweeps. Hits to dislodge the ball. Natura; ball skills with extensive wide receiver background.

"If a prospect can tout upside potential and scare some away dye t age and inexperience, this is your man...stiff hips and below-average change-of-direction agility."

The three minutes of highlights I watched…of Rouse..

Training camp in boxing gloves and 4 holding calls a game, easy..

Interesting read about Payton conference calling us and the Raiders advising no one trade up and start a frenzie. Being coy off the table bc they all had their eyes on different guys. Then Atlanta ****ed it up. Cost us 2 picks. The Raiders their QB. Denver was the one not affected interestingly.
