Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

Nobody else had Kedon Slovis anywhere near Round 7, Pick 12. The Vikings did, by 73 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Cooper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 29
This one needs a full-page explanation: J.J. McCarthy in the 11th overall pick, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.1 · Pick 33 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 27
Fair-plus on Tyler Guyton, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to pick 65. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 109
Mekhi Wingo at No. 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones at slot 129 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 165
They paid up for Marist Liufau at Round 5, Pick 21 when waiting would have done the job. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
They did well to land Walter Rouse in Round 5, Pick 31, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 175
They paid sticker price for Cody Schrader in slot 177, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 252
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at No. 230, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 305
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kedon Slovis. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 238
Donovan Jennings in the 240th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
