The Vikings did enough to get by: C+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Trey Amos at the 24th overall pick is 26 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

Bond falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Trey Amos
In pick No. 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick97 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the 97th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Sauls this early at No. 139. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They let Jack Nelson come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
