Minnesota Vikings

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Vikings took Spencer Rattler at slot 66, roughly 32 spots before his name belonged.

Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In slot 27 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 38
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in No. 35. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 43
Byron Murphy II at pick 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 98
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Spencer Rattler well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 82
Roman Wilson at pick No. 108 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 129
Will Shipley in the 130th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 145
Javion Cohen in pick No. 148 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 150
Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 187
Value said wait; Andrew Raym in the 166th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Julian Pearl · OT-EDGE · rank 181
They took Julian Pearl at par in No. 179, which is nothing to complain about. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 203
Circle this one: Kenny Logan Jr. at slot 225 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 212
Sheridan Jones is a better player than pick 227 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 241
They liked Zion Logue enough to skip the value, taking him in the 230th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
