Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. T.J. Sanders, the No. 42 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 224th pick.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
