Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a D-.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Kamari Lassiter, the No. 27 name on the board, sitting there at the 108th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
Caleb Williams at slot 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
Dallas Turner at pick No. 42 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 47
You do not let a safety like Calen Bullock reach the 67th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 27
Circle this one: Kamari Lassiter at No. 108 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · James Williams · S · rank 134
Nice patience on James Williams, who had no business lasting to the 148th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Cam Hart in pick No. 160 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Austin Booker · DL-EDGE · rank 159
The board had Austin Booker higher than slot 168, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Taking Tommy Eichenberg in pick 179 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Jawhar Jordan in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
R7.18 · Pick 238 · Jeremy Flax · OT · rank 235
A clean, defensible pick in Round 7, Pick 18 with a little surplus value in Jeremy Flax. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
