B

Minnesota Vikings

A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B.

Future B

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Vikings spent slot 176 on Joe Milton III, a name the board had a full 23 spots lower. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gore Jr.. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Adding Taysom Hill by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 11
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 53
Braden Fiske in No. 61 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 124
Beaux Limmer in the 118th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 117
A tidy bit of business in the 128th overall pick, where Sataoa Laumea graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 168
They took Javion Cohen at par in No. 167, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 199
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 175
A quiet steal in pick No. 187: Dwight McGlothern for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 187
Cornelius Johnson in pick 194 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Logan Lee · DL · rank 241
They paid up for Logan Lee at the 230th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
