The Vikings lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
The Vikings clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 4th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. Exactly the need they had to hit.
In pick 11 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Good price on Nate Wiggins in slot 23, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
In the 28th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
By-the-book stuff, Cedric Gray at pick No. 108 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
