MNFtball2025 DRAFTING FOR THEVikings

FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Vikings. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Vikings walked right past. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
However the rest shakes out, Burke at that price is a win they earned. Fidone II has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
Value with a capital V on Denzel Burke in pick No. 128, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick139
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Fair-plus on Brashard Smith, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166
Rnd5
Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams in the 166th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
CJ West
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ West. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick206
Rnd6
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Nothing to complain about; Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick216
Rnd6
Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at slot 216 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Desmond Watson at pick No. 236. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
They went early on Thomas Fidone II in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They paid a round early for Teddye Buchanan in Round 7, Pick 27, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick244
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A slide stopped in slot 244, with Isaac TeSlaa worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
They liked Jeremy Crawshaw enough to skip the value, taking him in the 245th overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jaylin Smith
No edge and no loss on Jaylin Smith in No. 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
