Vikings trade DB Mekhi Blackmon to the Colts

... for a 2026 sixth-rounder.

Boy the last few years draft choices are not panning out at all, injuries included. Blackmon a 2023 3rd rounder.

Yep.

I'm pretty surprised at this move considering how thin they are at the position. Really speaks to how they feel about him.

He started 3 games as a rookie so it looked good. He had seven pass breakups with one interception and one fumble recovery that season, with a coverage grade by Pro Football Focus that was the third-highest among NFL rookies. Maybe this reflects on Dwight McGlothern development. Looks like Indy has injury problems at CB. Based on that you would think they could get a 4rh?

Weird trade. Thought his value might be a little higher, I recall he came into the league a little older though, so suspect teams don't think there is a lot of upward potential at this point.

But man we're getting thin in that room. Three guys with experience (Murphy, Rodgers, Okudah).
