Overall B
ValueA NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Winston Jr.: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 90 name on the board, stolen at the Round 5 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In No. 24 they get an island corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 97 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 138 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 159th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
