The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Skattebo: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Cam Skattebo, the No. 105 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 5 slot. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 97th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
The board fumbled Cam Skattebo all the way to pick No. 140, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick154 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
A tidy bit of business in slot 161, where Jackson Slater graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
