The Rasheen Ali pick is the one that will follow the Vikings into the fall. They took him 67 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Newton.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Jayden Daniels · QB · rank 7
In the 5th overall pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 43
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 74
Taking Jaden Hicks in pick No. 108 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in the 129th pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 166
They jumped the gun on Nelson Ceaser, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 122
Josh Newton at Round 5, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 183
Fabien Lovett in pick 177 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.16 · Pick 191 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 258
They left a pile of value on the table to take Rasheen Ali this early at the 191st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 195
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick No. 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.14 · Pick 234 · Solomon Byrd · DE-EDGE · rank 257
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Solomon Byrd. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
