The NFL trade deadline has seen significant activity, with the New Orleans Saints trading Marshon Lattimore to Washington for several draft picks, despite the resulting $36 million dead cap hit. Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah was active before the deadline, acquiring Cam Robinson and Cam Akers, but did not make further moves on deadline day, despite needs in defensive tackle and cornerback positions. Minnesota's defense, ranked highly in several categories, could still benefit from bolstering its cornerbacks, with potential targets like Jaycee Horn and Jonathan Jones being discussed. While the Vikings' draft capital is limited, suggestions are made to use future picks to address defensive needs. The New England Patriots' Jonathan Jones is highlighted as a potential trade target due to his fit with Minnesota's defensive strategy.
