You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Vikings spent the 120th overall pick on Khyree Jackson while safety and tight end sat unaddressed. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 23
Dallas Turner slid further than he should have, and the 34th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Kalen King · CB · rank 45
Kalen King at the 52nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 71
They went early on Blake Corum in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 99
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in pick No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 122
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Khyree Jackson while clear needs at safety and tight end sat open.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Cameron Ward · QB · rank 147
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 21, with Cameron Ward worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Antwaun Powell-Ryland · DL-EDGE · rank 161
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 161 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 152
They let Devontez Walker come to them and pounced at the 168th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 151
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick No. 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Ajani Cornelius · OL · rank 184
No drama and no debate, Ajani Cornelius went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 4. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.21 · Pick 241 · Joshua Gray · OT · rank 225
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Joshua Gray in No. 241. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
