They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Vikings' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Newton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while safety, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Michael Penix Jr. · QB · rank 13
In the 11th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 48
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 105
Value with a capital V on MarShawn Lloyd in No. 118, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 116
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with safety, wide receiver and other spots open.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 125
They robbed the room for Josh Newton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Marcus Harris · DE-EDGE · rank 141
Marcus Harris at slot 156 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 177
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 166 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 174
Nothing to complain about; Layden Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 175
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at slot 190. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
