Not sure exactly what those mean, but some amount of guilty is good?

Ooh, 3/3. That's a good amount of guilty.

I thought we were going to get only manslaughter at best. This is a pleasant surprise.

Second-degree unintentional murder
Prosecutors must have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin caused Floyd's death while assaulting him. This is the most serious charge. It carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, according to state sentencing guidelines. But for people with no criminal history, like Chauvin, the presumptive sentence is 12.5 years.
Third-degree murder
Prosecutors must have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin caused Floyd's death "by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life." The charge carries a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, or a presumptive sentence of 12.5 years for a person with no criminal history.
Second-degree manslaughter
Prosecutors must have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin was "culpably negligent" and took an "unreasonable risk" with Floyd's life when he restrained him and that his actions put Floyd at risk of death or great harm. This charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, or a presumptive sentence of four years for a person with no criminal history.

I dont think this verdict is surprising. The charges were relatively lesser to begin with. Based on the evidence that had been collected (they had experts who basically confirmed it Chauvin used excessive force and I think the police chief said he used excessive force as well, all under oath), it seems like an obvious conviction.
