Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings let Hart fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Hart tumbling to the Vikings in the 179th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Jefferson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In pick 17 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 102
They did well to land Michael Pratt in pick No. 108, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 119
They barely believed it either: Kris Abrams-Draine still on the board at the Round 5 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 177
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 19, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 149
Ty'Ron Hopper at slot 160 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 173
They jumped the gun on Jaylan Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 143
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 166 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 132
They robbed the room for Cam Hart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 184
They will replay Kimani Vidal at the 216th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 191
The board fumbled Isaiah Williams all the way to slot 230, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.13 · Pick 233 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 204
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 233 is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
