If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They are betting Travis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Berger at that price is a win they earned. Will Hernandez gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 32
In pick No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 43
They went early on Byron Murphy II in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Kalen King · CB · rank 42
Nice patience on Kalen King, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 18. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 68
Mekhi Wingo in No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 83
Roman Wilson in slot 97 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 136
Jordan Travis at pick 108 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
A wild overpay on Braelon Allen in the 130th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
The board had cheaper options than Drake Nugent at the 137th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 149
Javion Cohen at pick 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 154
A tidy little value on Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 162
Chau Smith-Wade in slot 166 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 156
Value with a capital V on Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 172, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
Kitan Oladapo is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 224
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 225th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Jalen Berger · RB · rank 206
They will replay Jalen Berger at the 230th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
