Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Bo Nix · QB · rank 22
Nice patience on Bo Nix, who had no business lasting to No. 33. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 39
They paid sticker price for Bralen Trice in pick 34, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 52
They jumped the gun on Jackson Powers-Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
A tidy little value on Bucky Irving in slot 97, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
No drama and no debate, Jaden Hicks went about where he belonged in the 108th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 118
Value with a capital V on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick No. 130, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · James Williams · S · rank 130
James Williams at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Luke McCaffrey · QB · rank 137
A slide stopped in the 148th pick, with Luke McCaffrey worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 150
Keith Randolph Jr. slipping to slot 160 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Grayson Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 164
A straight-up fair deal on Grayson Murphy at pick 166, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 167
Andru Phillips is a better player than No. 179 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 215
Darius Muasau in Round 7, Pick 10 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
