Vikings Draft Visits, Dexter Lawrence Trade Talk, and Roasting Bill Barnwell’s Mock Trades — Dave Stefano and Darren Campbell discuss Vikings draft themes with 11 days to go, focusing on what reported prospect meetings (combine, pro days, Senior/Shrine bowls, and top-30 visits) suggest about targets. They note little apparent attention to quarterback (only Georgia Tech’s Haynes King) and edge rusher, while wide receiver (about 12 names), running back (about 9), interior defensive line (8), and safety/nickel hybrids (8) draw heavy interest; only one center (Cincinnati’s Gavin Gerhardt) and three corners are mentioned. They highlight RB Demond Claiborne (Wake Forest) and WR Ted Hurst (Georgia State) as players Minnesota has spent significant time with. They debate whether trading major assets for Giants DT Dexter “Sexy Dexy” Lawrence makes sense given cost, age, 2025 production dip, and contract demands. They also critique Bill Barnwell’s trade-heavy mock draft, liking a trade down from 18 to 25 for added second-round value but rejecting proposed trades that move up by dealing Jonathan Greenard or JJ McCarthy.
