If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Donovan Jackson at pick 24 is 42 spots clear of where he belonged.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
