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

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Wedig at the 230th overall pick, a reach of 34 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. On value alone, Sainristil makes the weekend a net positive.

That safety hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 15
In the 13th pick they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 43
No drama and no debate, J.J. McCarthy went about where he belonged in pick 42. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 71
Byron Murphy II in the 77th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 109
Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 108 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 120
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Khyree Jackson graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 135
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mike Sainristil at Round 5, Pick 12. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Jonah Monheim · OT · rank 168
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in Round 5, Pick 24, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 159
They did well to land Keith Randolph Jr. in the 165th pick, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 171
They let Ty'Ron Hopper come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 190
A straight-up fair deal on Miyan Williams at No. 190, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Trey Wedig · OT · rank 264
Value said wait; Trey Wedig in pick 230 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
