Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Vikings a B, Brown and all. The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Logan Brown fell into the 180th pick.
Downs has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a rangy last line of defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
No drama and no debate, Jihaad Campbell went about where he belonged in the 38th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Good price on Tai Felton in the 103rd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slid further than he should have, and pick No. 107 is lovely value for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
A straight-up fair deal on Denzel Burke at No. 109, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Majors. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at pick 128 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in slot 169 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick178
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West at Round 6, Pick 2 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd6
Logan Brown
Logan Brown in pick 180 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
No edge and no loss on Oronde Gadsden II in the 187th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jarquez Hunter
By-the-book stuff, Jarquez Hunter at the 188th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202
Rnd6
Clay Webb
Nothing to complain about; Clay Webb went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
They took Luke Lachey at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
They did well to land Nazir Stackhouse in No. 212, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick213
Rnd6
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith at pick No. 213 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215
Rnd6
Simeon Barrow Jr.
A reach on Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick 215; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217
Rnd7
Addison West
Addison West in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Fair-plus on Jordan Hancock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
A quiet steal in No. 222: Kyle Monangai for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 22 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
The board had Cam Jackson higher than slot 241, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243
Rnd7
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Quinden Jackson at the 243rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick245
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad at pick No. 246 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
They talked themselves into Ethan Downs at slot 255, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick257
Rnd7
Brady Cook
Value said wait; Brady Cook in the 257th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
