History will show that it's rare for a significant portion of a draft class to become home runs in their first year together. They will at least need one of these guys to light it up, and the others to be upgrades over what they have now. That Vikes secondary has been atrocious for a LLLLLLOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG time... <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
