FutureB-
The Vikings bled value on every deal, hence the C-. The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Max Brosmer at No. 252 regardless, 49 picks early.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than the 33rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Xavier Restrepo
A quiet steal in the 74th overall pick: Xavier Restrepo for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in slot 94, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick98
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
They let Denzel Burke come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 34. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
They will replay Carson Schwesinger at pick 113 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 116, where Jared Wilson graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick135
Rnd4
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at Round 4, Pick 33 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Max Brosmer
A wild overpay on Max Brosmer in the 252nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254
Rnd7
Quinn Carroll
They left a pile of value on the table to take Quinn Carroll this early at No. 254. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
