FutureA
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Vikings were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.
The Slaughter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Tyler Allgeier pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick3
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In No. 3 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jake Slaughter
The board had Jake Slaughter higher than the Round 2 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77
Rnd3
Bud Clark
They did well to land Bud Clark in the 77th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant is a better player than pick No. 208 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb at slot 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
