FutureA+
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Vikings walked right past.
Every board in the league had Alexander lower, and that gap is the story. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.
The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
T.J. Parker
In the Round 1 slot they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick125
Rnd4
Rod Moore
Rod Moore at pick No. 125 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
They paid sticker price for Xavier Scott in No. 157, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161
Rnd5
Cameron Calhoun
They took Cameron Calhoun at par in pick 161, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick173
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 173rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick196
Rnd6
Bear Alexander
They liked Bear Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 20. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jack Velling
Jack Velling at slot 208 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
