Grand theft in the 80th pick: the Vikings steal Harris and grade out a B.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Vikings walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

Landing Harris that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 15 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamari Ramsey. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick80 Rnd3 A.J. Harris
Steal is underselling it; A.J. Harris at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at pick 97 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick161 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 161 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Earnest Greene III in No. 199. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick231 Rnd7 DeAndre Moore Jr.
A tidy little value on DeAndre Moore Jr. in the 231st overall pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
A straight-up fair deal on Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
