The one they had to fix is still broken. The Vikings left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Price. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with running back the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Arvell Reese · LB · rank 7
In No. 18 they get a three-down second-level presence, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Lee Hunter · DT · rank 48
Lee Hunter at pick No. 59 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Jadarian Price · RB · rank 69
Nice patience on Jadarian Price, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
