Future B

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They are betting Sweat proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

However the rest shakes out, Ulofoshio at that price is a win they earned. Hjalte Froholdt gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 32
In No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 33
Quinyon Mitchell at slot 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat at the 42nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
Leonard Taylor III at the 108th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 129
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. The roster fit checks out.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 162
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 169
Delmar Glaze at pick 160 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 152
They read the board right and Edefuan Ulofoshio was the payoff at pick No. 166. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Aki Ogunbiyi · OG · rank 185
They paid sticker price for Aki Ogunbiyi in Round 6, Pick 4, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 191
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Williams at pick 188, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Zakhari Franklin · WR · rank 223
Zakhari Franklin at the 230th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
