The Vikings turned the phones into found money: A-. The Vikings bet big and early on Deven Eastern, 61 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Haulcy pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They read the board right and Emmanuel McNeil-Warren was the payoff at pick 49. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
You do not let a safety like A.J. Haulcy reach the 72nd pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
No drama and no debate, Jonah Coleman went about where he belonged in slot 97. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108
Rnd4
Brian Parker II
By-the-book stuff, Brian Parker II at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111
Rnd4
Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in Round 4, Pick 11 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147
Rnd5
Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings in No. 147 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
No edge and no loss on Tanner Koziol in the 163rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
They did well to land Ephesians Prysock in slot 196, just ahead of his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jeff Caldwell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jeff Caldwell in the 209th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick226
Rnd7
Deven Eastern
A big swing on Deven Eastern at pick 226, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234
Rnd7
Kaden Wetjen
A straight-up fair deal on Kaden Wetjen at Round 7, Pick 18, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick235
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
A premium they did not need to pay, Eli Heidenreich a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244
Rnd7
Thaddeus Dixon
A slide stopped in the Round 7 slot, with Thaddeus Dixon worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
