Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Isaiah Neyor got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at the 230th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
Good price on Dallas Turner in No. 18, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 46
J.J. McCarthy in pick 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 39
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chop Robinson in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
Tykee Smith at the 108th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 118
Nice patience on Malik Washington, who had no business lasting to the 130th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 145
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javion Cohen in pick No. 148. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 147
Jaylin Simpson slipping to slot 160 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 170
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at Round 5, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 176
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Knox. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 179
No edge and no loss on Isaiah Davis in the 179th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 210
Isaiah Neyor at No. 230 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
