Skattebo should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until pick No. 140, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Lampkin reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 24 they get a centerfielder for the defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Denzel Burke is a better player than slot 97 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Taking Cam Skattebo in Round 5, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Value said wait; Willie Lampkin in the 161st pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
