FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Vikings. You build a draft on nights like this. Connor Lew had no business being available in the Round 3 slot, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They are betting Lyons proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In slot 18 they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick82
Rnd3
Kamari Ramsey
Somehow Kamari Ramsey was still sitting there in pick No. 82, and they pounced on premier safety value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97
Rnd3
Connor Lew
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to No. 97, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick118
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the 118th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
No drama and no debate, Xavier Scott went about where he belonged in the 157th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 36 with a little surplus value in Xavier Nwankpa. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
Good price on J.Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 196, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208
Rnd6
Anthony Evans III
Anthony Evans III in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jamari Lyons
Jamari Lyons in pick 231 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
