The Vikings turned the phones into found money: A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Vikings came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Key falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Bottom line, with Caleb Downs leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick52
Rnd2
Joe Royer
They took Joe Royer at par in slot 52, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Iapani Laloulu
No drama and no debate, Iapani Laloulu went about where he belonged in pick No. 58. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
No edge and no loss on Xavier Scott in pick 162; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173
Rnd5
Dane Key
Dane Key at the 173rd overall pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196
Rnd6
Lawson Luckie
By-the-book stuff, Lawson Luckie at Round 6, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208
Rnd6
Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in No. 208 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jeremiah Cobb
Jeremiah Cobb in the 231st pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
