You wanna see burst? This is burst...

Vikings took their sweet time taking a RB, but this was one many of us liked a lot.

But thank you sweet baby jesus!
Uncle Baby Billy approves!
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

With the drafting of Claiborne, the Vikings pretty much checked all the boxes with the exception of another WR...
5' 9 3/4" 188 lbs.
Plenty of speed, 4.37 40 yard dash at the combine.
We needed this because Jones and Mason are as explosive as a wet book of matches. Just when I thought they'd lost their marbles, Brez and company find them again 😵💫
What people around the NFL are saying about #Vikings RB Demond Claiborne, @alec_lewis mentioned via @KFAN1003: “I have heard people within the NFL, who work and get paid by teams, say to me that he is like Diet Coke De’Von Achane/Jahmyr Gibbs.”

I think I'd have a box for center. Vikings may have wanted Logan Jones, who was taken early (2nd round) by the Bears. So Caleb Banks and Big Citrus will face off against either Garrett Bradbury or a smallish rookie.

About the same size as Jahmyr Gibbs (who is 5'9" himself...Claiborne is a huge 3/4" taller!!
Please God, just one Lombardi before I die.

About the same size as Achane. Game breaker with high end lateral agility and good contact balance. Productive pass receiver. One of my favorite prospects regardless of position. Frank Smith will need to set a 4 hour timer and have his doctors on speed dial.
