The Vikings lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pritchett. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 22
Nice patience on Bo Nix, who had no business lasting to No. 38. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 2, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 100
Blake Fisher slipping to pick No. 108 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 119
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Washington at pick 130. It fills a real need, too.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 144
They took Beaux Limmer at par in the 144th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
MarShawn Lloyd at slot 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 154
A tidy little value on Keith Randolph Jr. in the 160th pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 142
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
A quiet steal in pick 179: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.9 · Pick 184 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 177
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 184 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 227
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 230th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
