FutureB
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jared Wilson at pick No. 67 regardless, 35 picks early.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. TeSlaa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Value with a capital V on Nick Emmanwori in the 36th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
A big swing on Jared Wilson at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
A real head-scratcher, Dylan Fairchild in pick No. 70 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at Round 3, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132
Rnd4
LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at pick 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malachi Moore
By-the-book stuff, Malachi Moore at slot 139 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They paid sticker price for Oronde Gadsden II in No. 187, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Upton Stout
No edge and no loss on Upton Stout in pick 190; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They barely believed it either: Isaac TeSlaa still on the board at pick No. 251. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
A wild overpay on Jalen Travis in slot 257, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
