If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Eric Gentry at pick 240 is 28 spots clear of where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Neal at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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