The search is over. The Vikings handed the keys to Jayden Daniels, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rosemy-Jacksaint. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 11 they get the arm they will build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Tyler Guyton in slot 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and pick No. 108 is lovely value for the safety. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Fair-plus on Justin Eboigbe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nehemiah Pritchett in Round 5, Pick 12. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in No. 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Taking Jaylen Wright in the 179th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Value with a capital V on Myles Jones in the 230th overall pick, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
