FutureA
A passer of the future in Maye, and a A-, for the Vikings. The search is over. The Vikings handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Magee. Reaching for Rogers left real value on the table behind him.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Bottom line, with Drake Maye leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Drake Maye
Drake Maye at the 11th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry slid further than he should have, and pick 39 is lovely value for the cornerback. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick108
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christian Mahogany at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jamari Thrash
No edge and no loss on Jamari Thrash in No. 129; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick133
Rnd4
Christian Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Jones at pick No. 133, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick142
Rnd5
Beau Brade
They read the board right and Beau Brade was the payoff at slot 142. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick157
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Luke McCaffrey at the 157th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Isaiah Davis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 31. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
They went early on Justin Rogers in slot 177, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nice patience on Nathaniel Watson, who had no business lasting to the 230th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick232
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
They robbed the room for Julian Pearl here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the 251st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
