They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: James Williams Sr., 56 picks early at the Round 7 slot. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Vikings indulged a want in Ponds while a need in quarterback, edge rusher and other spots stayed open. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Strong value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
