Minnesota Vikings

No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

The war room fell hard for Mike Washington Jr., and it showed at pick 49: 24 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Lawson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 35
In slot 18 they get a ballhawk on the back end, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Mike Washington Jr. · RB · rank 73
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mike Washington Jr. this early at the 49th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
A straight-up fair deal on Daylen Everette at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 80
The board had Deontae Lawson higher than No. 97, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
