The tape said wait; the Vikings did not. Nicholas Singleton went at the 45th overall pick, a good 50 picks before the board was ready.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Hit on David Bailey and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
