Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings found their guy under center in Williams: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Vikings, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Rosemy-Jacksaint to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The Bertrand value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In the 11th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 29
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 36 with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 27
The board had Tyler Guyton higher than pick 40, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
Edgerrin Cooper at the 42nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
Darius Robinson slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in No. 109. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 30. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 162
They paid sticker price for Trevor Keegan in slot 156, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 164
Isaiah Davis at pick No. 166 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 179
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 198
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 190, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 211
Steal is underselling it; JD Bertrand at slot 229 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
