Larceny in the 97th pick lands the Vikings a B-, Alexander and all.

Thirty-one other rooms let Zy Alexander slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at pick No. 97. Highway robbery.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Sawyer pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In the 24th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Circle this one: Zy Alexander at pick No. 97 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
A clean, defensible pick in No. 140 with a little surplus value in LeQuint Allen. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
