FutureB-
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Teddye Buchanan in the 205th overall pick, a good 53 spots before the room expected him. The bottom line is a respectable B+.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. On value alone, Parrish makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than slot 34 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick37
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
A slide stopped in No. 37, with Kenneth Grant worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick39
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
A tidy bit of business in the 39th pick, where Colston Loveland graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick44
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
They did well to land Benjamin Morrison in pick No. 44, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Jayden Higgins for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 36. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
Steal is underselling it; Jacob Parrish at the 149th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in the 174th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196
Rnd6
Clay Webb
They took Clay Webb at par in slot 196, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick205
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in Round 6, Pick 29 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jalen Travis
Value said wait; Jalen Travis in pick 243 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
A conviction pick on Jeremy Crawshaw at No. 245 that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
