FutureB
The Vikings got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C. The phones were a trap the Vikings kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A weekend of give and take that grades a C.
Bell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The Proctor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick62
Rnd2
D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at the 62nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82
Rnd3
Jake Golday
They will replay Jake Golday at the 82nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Domonique Orange at Round 3, Pick 27 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
They took Jonah Coleman at par in slot 97, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick108
Rnd4
Skyler Bell
They robbed the room for Skyler Bell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Kaleb Proctor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kaleb Proctor well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick163
Rnd5
Bryce Boettcher
A reach on Bryce Boettcher in No. 163; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick170
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
A conviction pick on Domani Jackson at No. 170 that the board grades a round light. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick196
Rnd6
Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at Round 6, Pick 15 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick234
Rnd7
Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at the 234th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235
Rnd7
Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen in the 235th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich in pick No. 244 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246
Rnd7
Josh Cuevas
A premium they did not need to pay, Josh Cuevas a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
