For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Vikings walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

On value alone, Price makes the weekend a net positive. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.12 · Pick 12 · Sonny Styles · LB · rank 20
In pick No. 12 they get a green-dot type in the middle, even if it was a touch early. More want than need.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Keith Abney II · CB · rank 43
Keith Abney II at slot 49 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Jadarian Price · RB · rank 69
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Jadarian Price worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
