Minnesota Vikings

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Nubin: D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Vikings, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jones pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board.

Every board in the league had Coleman lower, and that gap is the story. The Nubin steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.4 · Pick 4 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.11 · Pick 11 · Laiatu Latu · DL-EDGE · rank 10
In the 11th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In slot 29 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
Tyler Nubin in pick 73 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
Zak Zinter in pick No. 108 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
A curious use of the 129th overall pick. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Elijah Jones did not.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 157
Nice patience on Dylan Laube, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 185
They paid up for Brandon Coleman at slot 177 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 178
A tidy bit of business in No. 187, where Jha'Quan Jackson graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
Trente Jones in the 197th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
They read the board right and JD Bertrand was the payoff at pick No. 230. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 229
Tatum Bethune at Round 7, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
