There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Vikings never got to the one that mattered most.
McNeil-Warren falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.
The back end got a real overhaul.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 18th overall pick they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in slot 49. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
