FutureA+
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+. Nobody else had Michael Pratt anywhere near No. 94. The Vikings did, by 51 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
They banked enough surplus on Harden to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Jackson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, tight end and other spots still on the board.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
A quiet steal in slot 31: Troy Fautanu for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Somehow Cooper DeJean was still sitting there in the 46th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick81
Rnd3
Keon Coleman
They robbed the room for Keon Coleman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94
Rnd3
Michael Pratt
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Pratt. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A tidy little value on Cedric Gray in the 124th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128
Rnd4
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at pick No. 128 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Ray Davis at the 129th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146
Rnd5
Javon Foster
They read the board right and Javon Foster was the payoff at the 146th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick157
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A slide stopped in No. 157, with Tommy Eichenberg worth more than the price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick177
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick211
Rnd6
Myles Harden
Myles Harden in Round 6, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick222
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
The board fumbled Josh Proctor all the way to pick 222, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
A clean, defensible pick in slot 230 with a little surplus value in JD Bertrand. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick235
Rnd7
Johnny Dixon
You do not let a cornerback like Johnny Dixon reach No. 235 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick242
Rnd7
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the 242nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
