Again assuming Robinson is healthy and plays well, Viking 4th round picks since 2020 = Khyree Jackson (RIP), Jay Ward, Akalyeb Evans, Kene Nwangwu, Cam Bynum, Janarius Robinson, DJ Wonnum, James Lynch, and Troy Dye.
That is the level of player we are giving up.
...and while Rick and Kwesi haven't had great success overall with 4th Rd picks, if Kwesi and the Scouting Dept actually did "hit" on 4th Rd picks, here are some recent one's that are "hits" for other teams:
TE Jake Ferguson, DAL
TE Isaiah Likely, BAL
RB Isaac Guerrendo SF (just broke out this past Sunday Night vs Dallas)
RB Chuba Hubbard, CAR
WR Amon-Ra St Brown, DET
CB Cobie Durant, LAR
CB Clark Phillips III, ATL
IOL Zach Tom, GB
IOL Drew Dolman, ATL
If you actually scout and draft well, it's very possible to add a quality player on Day 3 and that possibility is what's being given up for a 1/2 season rental to stay in the hunt for 2nd place in the NFC North and get to the Playoffs...
#1 this season matters and so does trying to make the playoffs #2 this doesn't wreck the ability to add players in the 2026 draft
