Truckley45 DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B- to prove it. The Vikings treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on Josiah Ezirim a full 50 spots early.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That Bowers pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Brock Bowers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brock Bowers at No. 17 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 108th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177
Rnd6
Decamerion Richardson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Decamerion Richardson at slot 177. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick230
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl slipping to Round 7, Pick 10 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232
Rnd7
Josiah Ezirim
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Josiah Ezirim. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
