FutureB-
The Vikings got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Somebody took the Vikings to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.
Reaching for Kamara left real value on the table behind him. They banked enough surplus on Sadiq to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick 15 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
No drama and no debate, Jake Slaughter went about where he belonged in slot 43. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick46
Rnd2
Kenyon Sadiq
Somehow Kenyon Sadiq was still sitting there in the 46th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick54
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 22. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick73
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad in the 73rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at No. 80 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mikail Kamara
They reached a country mile for Mikail Kamara at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97
Rnd3
John Mateer
John Mateer in pick No. 97 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Deion Burks
They took Deion Burks at par in pick No. 108, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199
Rnd6
Isaiah Jatta
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Jatta in the 199th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick231
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in the 231st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Amare Campbell
Good price on Amare Campbell in slot 239, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick241
Rnd7
Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick243
Rnd7
Kelby Collins
A big swing on Kelby Collins at pick 243, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
