The phones were a trap the Vikings kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Rogers pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In slot 4 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.5 · Pick 5 · Malik Nabers · WR · rank 4
In pick No. 5 they get a true top target. A real need, handled.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
Darius Robinson in Round 2, Pick 10 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
Zak Zinter at the 108th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 118
They read the board right and Andru Phillips was the payoff at the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.21 · Pick 157 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 156
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in the 157th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 164
A tidy little value on Isaiah Davis in No. 167, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
Jarrian Jones in pick 177 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 201
They paid up for Justin Rogers at the 188th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 235
Andrew Raym at slot 230 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
