Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings let Knight Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Future B-

The rest of the league will want that one back. Demetrius Knight Jr. tumbling to the Vikings in slot 243 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 21
In pick No. 27 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Ashton Jeanty · RB · rank 2
Ashton Jeanty in the 91st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Tate Ratledge · OG · rank 75
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tate Ratledge in No. 97, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.34 · Pick 135 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 94
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Jared Wilson · C · rank 108
Jared Wilson at the 138th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.22 · Pick 159 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.37 · Pick 174 · Andrew Mukuba · S · rank 69
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach Round 5, Pick 37 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.27 · Pick 243 · Demetrius Knight Jr. · LB · rank 61
Steal is underselling it; Demetrius Knight Jr. at slot 243 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
