You build a draft on nights like this. Jadarian Price had no business being available in Round 4, Pick 15, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
If Jackson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 6th pick they get an enforcer at safety. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A slide stopped in slot 49, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Circle this one: Jadarian Price at No. 115 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A conviction pick on Domani Jackson at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
No drama and no debate, Eli Heidenreich went about where he belonged in pick No. 234. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They barely believed it either: Sawyer Robertson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 19. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
