Future B-

Somebody in pick 230 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Vikings sat still while M.J. Devonshire, the No. 191 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

The Keegan pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
Chop Robinson in the 23rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In pick No. 27 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 29
Nothing to complain about; J.J. McCarthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 70
Devontez Walker in No. 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 110
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at the 108th pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
The board had cheaper options than Trevor Keegan at slot 129, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 156
No drama and no debate, Isaiah Davis went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
They will replay Luke McCaffrey at pick 167 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 167
A slide stopped in pick 177, with Dillon Johnson worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Value with a capital V on Garret Greenfield in the 226th overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 191
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach the 230th pick and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
A quiet steal in pick No. 232: JD Bertrand for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
