Vikings Grab Speedster Claiborne in Round 6
Description
The Minnesota Vikings selected Demond Claiborne in the sixth round, trading up to secure the speedy Wake Forest running back. Known for his four-point-three-seven forty-time, Claiborne brings long speed and receiving skills to the Vikings backfield, complementing veterans like Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. Analyst Jordan Reid praised the pick as the best value of the draft, even surpassing other top picks. Claibornes college stats and similarities to Miamis DeVon Achane, who thrived under new Vikings position coach Frank Smith, have fans excited about his potential. Despite being a smaller back, Claiborne is expected to start as the third-string running back, with opportunities to lead the room by 2027.
