The phones sank the Vikings this weekend: D-. The Vikings lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
Every board in the league had Ransaw lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Wilson. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a security blanket over the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick26
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick83
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 83 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick No. 119 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick142
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
A premium they did not need to pay, Bhayshul Tuten a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
No edge and no loss on Kyle Williams in pick 164; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
They paid up for Willie Lampkin at No. 165 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in the 168th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd6
Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A slide stopped in pick 213, with Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
