Nobody dealt better than the Vikings this weekend: A-. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Washington II value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The cost of the Stowers reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Caleb Downs and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a centerfielder for the defense. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Eli Stowers
They paid a round early for Eli Stowers in pick 41, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick157
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
Xavier Scott in the 157th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick196
Rnd6
Kayin Lee
A straight-up fair deal on Kayin Lee at slot 196, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick214
Rnd6
Elliot Washington II
Elliot Washington II is a better player than pick No. 214 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick231
Rnd7
Jeremiah Cobb
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Cobb in No. 231, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
