Not complaining one bit about the Donovan Jackson selection though. Taking TE4 with our final pick instead of a back like Jacory Croskey-Merritt or Brashard Smith is one I will complain about. That's going to come back to haunt us.
Henderson's first NFL touch was a 100-yard TD. Here's another. Just unbelievable burst.
I love Jackson as you know. Really wanted him. Won't bitch about that. I will agree that we should have went RB since we ultimately got my guy Yurosek as well. Hindsight I guess

I like this guy. Good vision, good power, good speed, can catch. Chandler has his work cut out for him. Check out Jurgens as well.

He looked real good, but for the most part, he had good blocking as well. Good to see Jurgens play well.

Yes, build the OL and then any decent RB will look good.

It's the vision that stood out to me. He reads his blocks better than Chandler between the tackles.
Both have some juice and picked up yards in the passing game, but Chandler looks like he runs into a brick wall inside whereas Scott finds those creases and cut back lanes.

I don’t think we’ll see the Vikings use a first round or high second round pick on a RB any time soon. The value just isn’t there. You’re just better off investing at any of the other positions of high impact (aka ones that cost a lot in FA and that have a long life span). Draft an OL, DL, WR, CB. Like there's always going to be a player available that is good and at a premium position. I'd make an exception for a Jeanty type guy that appears generational.

I'm in the minority, I don't see Jeanty being this super back. That's what everyone is saying, but JMO I think he's overrated as a NFL RB.
To your point: I think only a special RB would be considered by Minnesota in round 1, but its still a big part of KOC's offense. You'll see that this year.
