The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Majors tumbling to the Vikings in No. 138 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in the 39th pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Somehow Tyler Booker was still sitting there in slot 72, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 33 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A straight-up fair deal on Dorian Strong at pick No. 159, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
