Trade Analysis

What Changed Hands

On April 30, 2022, Las Vegas received picks No. 122 and No. 250 from Minnesota, while the Vikings received No. 126 and No. 227. The Raiders used No. 122 on running back Zamir White and No. 250 on Brittain Brown. Minnesota drafted tight end Nick Muse at No. 227, then immediately traded No. 126 back to Las Vegas for Nos. 165 and 169, selecting Esezi Otomewo and Ty Chandler.

Why Minnesota Gets the Edge

The downstream move matters because it shows what the Vikings actually created from No. 126. Chandler became the most useful piece of that branch, rushing for 710 career yards through 2025 and starting four games for Minnesota. Muse also reached the active roster over multiple seasons, while Otomewo provided another developmental defensive-line chance. Minnesota effectively turned a four-slot move down into three players.

How Las Vegas Fared

White delivered real value. He rushed for 736 yards through 2025, started nine career games and had a productive late-season stretch in 2023. That makes the Raiders' decision to target him understandable. Brown, however, did not add much lasting value, and White never established a long-term hold on the starting job. The total return remained close to Chandler's production alone.

Final Verdict

Minnesota earns a B- and Las Vegas a C+. The margin is narrow because White and Chandler produced similar rushing totals, but the Vikings also retained Muse and gained another selection through the immediate No. 126 trade. That extra depth breaks the tie and supports a modest Minnesota Vikings Win rather than the previous Las Vegas verdict.
