Vikings

The 23-year old Price played four seasons at Texas Tech before transferring to Indiana in 2024. He caught 38 passes for 466 yards with three touchdowns in his final collegiate season. His 289 punt return yards ranked fifth most in FBS in 2024, while he forced a Power 4-best 24 missed tackles on punt returns per Pro Football Focus. He went undrafted last week but will compete for a roster spot in Minnesota.

The deal contains $22.4 million guaranteed per Adam Schefter. The pick-six machine had a successful first year in Minnesota with an 81.0 PFF coverage grade, 11.5 sacks, and six passes defensed. Entering his age-30 season, this will tie him to Minnesota through the 2026 season.

Batty (6’6/271) displays a good amount of quickness off the ball. He is physical at the point of attack. Batty showed off his athleticism at the combine, posting an 8.76 RAS. As a pass rusher, Batty is physical and creative with his hands; he doesn’t rely on one move. He also shows a good amount of upper body strength. Batty posted a 75.0 PFF pass rush grade in 2024, though he does play high at times, causing him to lose some of his leverage. As a run defender, Batty shows good vision and is aggressive. However, he’s not very consistent at getting off the ball — that really stood out in his game against UCF in 2024. Overall, Batty has the talent and build to be a productive edge rusher in the NFL.

Brown (6’6/311) spent his first four years at Wisconsin as a part-time reserve swing tackle before sustaining a lower-leg injury after transferring to Kansas in 2023. He made the most of his first starting opportunity though, allowing zero sacks or hits and just six pressures with a solid 82.5 overall grade at RT in 2024. A late bloomer, Brown is intriguing for his incredible athleticism — which he backed up with 90th percentile testing marks in the vertical and broad jumps, both agility tests and the 10-yard split for a freaky 9.50 RAS. He’s more proficient in zone blocking schemes (85th percentile zone grade) to take advantage of his quick feet. While Brown is plagued by inconsistency and technical deficiencies, his athleticism gives him a high ceiling if he can put it all together.

If there’s one thing we know about Badgers offensive lineman, it’s the amount of experience they bring to the table. Huber (6’5/310) was one of Luke Fickell’s guys who followed him to Wisconsin from Cincinnati. In 2024, Huber had just nine pressures and one sack all season. He brings a ton of versatility to the table. He started 12 games at left tackle during his time at Cincinnati. He’s played three of the five positions on the offensive line. Most recently, Huber played 765 snaps at right guard in 2024. As a pass blocker, Huber shows good vision off the ball, with his ability to shed off one opponent to the next. His combination of vision and footwork are good. But, there are times when he isn’t quick enough moving from one guy to the next. He posted a 76.2 pass blocking grade from PFF in 2024. As a run blocker, Huber is explosive and quick off the ball. He is a bit inconsistent with his hands. Against Purdue in 2024, Huber would get best right away on some of those counter plays, and he wouldn’t capitalize off those struggling plays. Overall, Huber displays a ton of versatility, and has the talent to carve out a productive UDFA career in the NFL.

He’ll stay in Minnesota on a deal that includes $250,000 guaranteed, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Brosmer (6’2/217) made the leap from FCS New Hampshire to Minnesota for the 2024 season. He was immediately thrust into a starting role as a true freshman in 2019, but was limited to just one game in 2020 (COVID) and missed all of the 2021 season due to a torn ACL. He returned to throw for 3,157-27-8 in 2022, and threw for another 3,498-29-7 in his final season before joining the Golden Gophers. A leap in competition didn’t prove too tough for Brosmer, who threw for double-digit touchdowns in five of the 13 games he appeared in, which included a 320-yard, four-touchdown performance against Maryland. Brosmer’s deep accuracy leaves much to be desired (32.7 deep completion percent in 2024), but he excels in the short and intermediate parts of the field and has done well at keeping the ball out of harm’s way. Despite the one-year stint at an FBS program, Brosmer cemented himself as a legitimate NFL prospect, even if it’s just as a guy who has a chance to carve out a career as a backup. His ability to process plays and make good decisions with the ball are evident, and could work in his favor once he’s gotten up to speed with the pro game.

A team captain at Pittsburgh, Bartholomew (6’5/246) was a starter in all four of his college seasons. He tallied 326 receiving yards and four touchdowns as a freshman, but was not able to exceed either total the rest of his college career. Bartholomew possesses speed with the ability to chew up yards over the middle of the field, but lacks explosive production. He is more likely to be a short-area target rather than a downfield pass-catcher. As a blocker, Bartholomew has size but will need to improve his strength to sustain blocks against bigger defenders. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler says Bartholomew’s “intangibles will make it tough for a coaching staff to cut him,” noting he had a “positive influence in the program” as team captain. Though he will need to demonstrate his skill set for an NFL team to keep him on the roster, Bartholomew’s intangibles will at least earn him a chance.

Celebrated for his hard-hitting, violent playing style, King (6’1/236) profiles as a potential two-down starter in the NFL. He lacks overall elite athleticism but was clocked at a 1.57-second 10-yard split (93rd percentile RAS) and pumped out 26 bench press repetitions at Penn State’s Pro Day. The latter sum would have tied for the positional high at the NFL Scouting Combine. King started for the Nittany Lions over the last two seasons and promisingly posted career highs in solo tackles (55), stops (38), TFLs (15) and quarterback pressures (nine) in 2024 regular season play. He thrived in the postseason limelight, racking up 19 solo tackles in Penn State’s three combined playoff and bowl games.

The Seahawks dealt Sam Howell and pick No. 172 to the Vikings to move up and take Mills. Mills (6’5"/291) spent five years in South Bend as a gap shooting three-tech, starting 35 games over the last three years as a key cog in Notre Dame’s National Championship runner-up defense led by HC Marcus Freeman. Mills sustained a knee injury that ended his 2024 campaign three games early, but not before he rolled up 8.5 TFLs and 7.5 sacks to go with 34 pressures and an 83.1 pass rush grade. Though he’s an able tackler who rarely lets ball carriers escape his grasp, as is evidenced by his sterling 3.4% missed tackle rate, Mills is much more dangerous in the pass game, having posted an elite 14.3 percent pass rush win rate. He has the requisite length and size to be a penetrating 3-4 defensive end who brings the heat on passing downs.
