TRADE! Vikings Send CB Mekhi Blackmon to the Colts for a 2026 Sixth Round Pick

48 comments

1. I know he hasn't shown alot coming off an injury in this training camp but I like Blackmon.

2. Another indictment on this regimes impressively awful drafting resume. Even if we hit on JJMC it isn’t going to matter if we can’t field a roster around him after his rookie deal (think Joe Burrow)

   This front office needs to get their sh*% together when it comes to drafting very soon or they’ll be kicking rocks

3. Knew it! KAM is not getting a WR he's getting a big name CB 🤞🏽🤞🏽

4. Yet another Kwesi draft fail

5. Just another pick for Carolina. Theilen is about to come home!

6. That’s what 9 6th round picks we got now?

7. So Michah Parsons eh?

8. Kwesi the king of everything but drafting lol , although I think he’s gotten better but time will tell

9. Kwesi should call the Browns about Denzel Ward

10. Getting ready for Tyreek Hill

11. We've been wheeling & dealing w/ the Colts this off-season & I'm here for it SKOL

12. Does your 2026 graffic of picks include projected comp picks?

13. I think you’re right, a WR and a CB. Come home, Adam, and let’s grab a good, solid CB also! Bring it on! KAM is accumulating those draft picks like there’s no tomorrow! There is a reason for that that is about to unfold, I am quite sure!

14. Just remember W. Johnson and M. Hairston were there in the 1st rd when they drafted.

15. Damn are we really giving these players the opportunity to win. He just came back from an injury give him time. First camp back . Harrison Phillips we let go? These players that we keeping better hold up cause wow.

16. 1:21 If Quesi couldn't get it right with Mekhi as a 3rd round pick, how are we to believe he'll pick someone better in the 6th round?

17. Kwesi has to be cooking something

18. If they're doing all this to overpay for Thielen I'm gonna be disappointed.

19. What is going on who are we trade for in return?

20. Why are we trading for picks when we haven't done good in drafts for years

21. We have 4 studs at strong side linebacker. I feel a trade brewing with one of those guys. Just a guess

22. Asante Samuel jr and Adam Thielen coming in.

23. Man Kwesi really likes 6th round picks

24. Skol!

25. I was rooting for him to have a comeback season, unfortunately he didn’t show enough this preseason

26. I'm a little surprised by this one. I guess he didn't impress.

27. Spielmans thing was 7th rounders. KAMs thing is 6th rounders.

28. Definitely interested in that Alex Johnson

29. Sign Gilmore

30. So now we just giving up on our young talent

31. Howie Roseman = Warren Buffett, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah = Jimmy Buffett

32. An outright cut or a sixth round pick. I'll take the pick.

33. I wouldn't blame Kwesi picking Blackmon. He looked really good in his rookie year and the unfortunate injury set him back and he wasn't able to fully recover. Glad we were able to get something for him

34. Brett Veach = World Class Investor, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah = day trader

35. HEY! RUDE! I SAW THE NOTIFICATION SAY "TRADE!" AND I THOUGHT MR
    MINNESOTA RETURNED.

36. nice i hope they get a corner that will tackle

37. We can't draft CBs. Blackmon, Booth, Evans, Gladney, Dantzler, Hughes, etc. Our entire CB room is FAs & USFAs. Not a draft pick in the bunch.

38. What's the point of accumulating draft picks hen they all bust

39. It's good that Kwesi got a draft pick for Mekhi, considering he might have been in danger of getting cut.

40. Everyone was hating on me for being honest two weeks ago 😂 it’s always the same with this channel. It’s always the greatest pick ever and “Kwesi cooking” until the guy doesn’t develop into a quality player. He literally made a video three months ago calling Blackmon the most underrated Viking!!!!!! 😂 Not saying injury didn’t play a role here but cmon now. I’ll give Kwesi an A- in free agency but no one wants to be honest and admit he’s struck out a fair amount on the draft board. Keep living in an echo chamber if you want 😂

41. Ya know… I was really hyped about this season but my hopes are just going down hill. Fast. I watch the Bears and see the energy in that team and we just don’t have it. Do they think we can just turn it on like a switch? No. You watch, the Bears are gonna smoke us. Mark my words.

42. I saw this one coming. He was a hopeful. But like you said the games the game. More semi surprises to come im sure.. SKOL MEKHI

43. Now we have a 6th-round pick!

44. After the 2022 no show Draft class, he is the 4th player gone from our 2023 Draft…
    Cannot have these sloppy Drafts anymore!

45. Blackmon looked promising until his first injury, then it was all downhill

46. Too bad. Had high hopes for him, and you never know what he could have been without injury. Best of luck to him!

47. Dude, you have always been a blackmon supporter so much you had us believing

48. Didn't we already expect Blackmon to be cut? So a pick for him is better than nothing. And better than sticking with your own picks, even if they don't work out.
