FutureA+
The Vikings got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-. The Vikings lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.
That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Wohler reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Landing Booker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Value with a capital V on Tyler Booker in No. 48, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick59
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74
Rnd3
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 74th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75
Rnd3
Hunter Wohler
A wild overpay on Hunter Wohler in the 75th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick119
Rnd4
DJ Giddens
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Giddens at Round 4, Pick 23 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137
Rnd5
Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster at pick 137 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151
Rnd5
Zion Nelson
No drama and no debate, Zion Nelson went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Thor Griffith
By-the-book stuff, Thor Griffith at slot 155 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd6
Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in pick 171 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick176
Rnd6
DJ Uiagalelei
The board had DJ Uiagalelei higher than the 176th overall pick, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Trikweze Bridges
The board had cheaper options than Trikweze Bridges at Round 6, Pick 26, and it noticed. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick191
Rnd6
Chris Marshall
They took Chris Marshall at par in No. 191, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194
Rnd7
Jaheim Oatis
They paid sticker price for Jaheim Oatis in slot 194, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Theo Wease Jr. in the 203rd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215
Rnd7
Jordan Burch
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Burch at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick223
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at pick No. 223 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
