Minnesota Vikings

The phones sank the Vikings this weekend: C-.

Future B+

The Vikings clearly saw something nobody else did in Justin Walley, taking him 57 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Castro at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, Kamari Lassiter leading the way.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Booker · OG · rank 37
Taking Tyler Booker in the 58th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.25 · Pick 89 · O'Donnell Fortune · CB · rank 90
They took O'Donnell Fortune at par in Round 3, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Jake Majors · C · rank 93
They did well to land Jake Majors in pick No. 97, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.1 · Pick 138 · Sebastian Castro · S · rank 85
The board fumbled Sebastian Castro all the way to the 138th pick, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.22 · Pick 159 · Cam Skattebo · RB · rank 111
Cam Skattebo at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.33 · Pick 170 · JJ Pegues · DT · rank 179
JJ Pegues at No. 170 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Elijah Arroyo · TE · rank 185
Somehow Elijah Arroyo was still sitting there in the 213th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.2 · Pick 218 · Cody Lindenberg · LB · rank 222
No drama and no debate, Cody Lindenberg went about where he belonged in pick 218. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.9 · Pick 225 · Clay Webb · OG · rank 223
They paid sticker price for Clay Webb in slot 225, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.12 · Pick 228 · Justin Walley · CB · rank 285
Justin Walley in Round 7, Pick 12 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.28 · Pick 244 · Tyler Cooper · OG · rank 282
Tyler Cooper in pick No. 244 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
