The Vikings spent the pick that matters most on Jayden Daniels, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Bishop value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 11th pick they get the arm they will build around. The biggest hole, addressed.
Brian Thomas Jr. at No. 42 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Tyler Davis is a better player than pick 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Fair-plus on Jarrian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Cole Bishop in slot 145 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Nehemiah Pritchett worth more than the price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
A quiet steal in the 166th overall pick: Keith Randolph Jr. for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
No drama and no debate, Frank Gore Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 4. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Nice patience on Jordan Magee, who had no business lasting to the 227th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
