Returning to the field with several young players, relying heavily on rookies in key positions, and hoping to improve from a 3-13 season the year before; expectations were low.

Only time will tell how everything shakes out, but I think these moves were great in that they added athletes to a Vikings roster that desperately needs them.  What do you think of the Vikings first round moves?
