If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That Smith pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In the 15th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 46
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. McCarthy a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 41
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at pick No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 86
Blake Corum at No. 90 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 98
A quiet steal in the 109th pick: Malik Washington for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 144
Value with a capital V on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 156, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 147
Tykee Smith at slot 161 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 168
Javion Cohen in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 179
A straight-up fair deal on Khristian Boyd at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 180
Caedan Wallace slipping to Round 6, Pick 15 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Tanner McLachlan · TE · rank 222
Tanner McLachlan slid further than he should have, and pick No. 232 is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
