Minnesota Vikings

A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dorian Strong at the 140th overall pick is 34 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They banked enough surplus on Nolen to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 17
In No. 27 they get a load in the middle, and a steal at that.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 55
Fair-plus on TreVeyon Henderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Dylan Fairchild · OG · rank 94
A tidy little value on Dylan Fairchild in pick 97, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.1 · Pick 140 · Dorian Strong · CB · rank 174
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dorian Strong this early at the Round 5 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
