The real work happened on the phones. The Vikings fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Evans has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Pritchett pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kalen King · CB · rank 49
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 25, with Kalen King worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 87
Jalen McMillan at the Round 4 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 111
A tidy little value on Cooper Beebe in the 114th pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Beau Brade · S · rank 115
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Brade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
Sataoa Laumea in slot 128 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 131
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nehemiah Pritchett at pick 148 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 150
A quiet steal in the 163rd overall pick: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 157
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 164 with a little surplus value in Ben Sinnott. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Jasheen Davis · DL-EDGE · rank 175
Jasheen Davis at pick No. 179 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 234
Blake Watson in pick 230 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.17 · Pick 237 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 231
Nathaniel Watson at No. 237 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Desmond Evans · DL-EDGE · rank 273
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Desmond Evans well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
