After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Vikings committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If one pick saves this weekend, it is King.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 5 they get a long-term answer under center. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
In slot 23 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. More want than need.
DeWayne Carter slid further than he should have, and the 113th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
A tidy little value on Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 29, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 157 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They robbed the room for Kalen King here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Tykee Smith slipping to the 177th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Tanner McLachlan at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Jordan Magee in slot 232 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
