The phones were a trap the Vikings kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. A F, plain and simple.

Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Driskell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Vikings indulged a want in Melton while a need in wide receiver and tight end stayed open.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not. Lassiter falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
