If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Hykeem Williams at the 244th overall pick is 47 spots clear of where he belonged.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hunter.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.14 · Pick 46 · Anthony Hill Jr. · LB · rank 39
Fair-plus on Anthony Hill Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 40
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren slipping to slot 49 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 49
Lee Hunter in the 82nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Ted Hurst · WR · rank 89
No edge and no loss on Ted Hurst in No. 83; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Mike Washington Jr. · RB · rank 75
Mike Washington Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 91st pick is lovely value for the running back. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Jonah Coleman · RB · rank 95
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Coleman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.23 · Pick 163 · Tanner Koziol · TE · rank 168
Tanner Koziol at the 163rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.15 · Pick 196 · Jeff Caldwell · WR · rank 193
Good price on Jeff Caldwell in slot 196, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.13 · Pick 229 · Kaden Wetjen · WR · rank 234
No drama and no debate, Kaden Wetjen went about where he belonged in the 229th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.18 · Pick 234 · Eli Heidenreich · WR · rank 252
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eli Heidenreich in the Round 7 slot, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.19 · Pick 235 · Barion Brown · WR · rank 265
They reached into another round for Barion Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.28 · Pick 244 · Hykeem Williams · WR · rank 291
Hykeem Williams in pick 244 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
