MNFtball2025 DRAFTING FOR THEVikings

The Vikings worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Ethan Downs at the 244th overall pick is 42 spots clear of where he belonged.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Collins pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the 31st pick they get a downhill hitter at safety, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 34 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick68
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alfred Collins at No. 68 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wilson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
A tidy bit of business in the 133rd overall pick, where Cobee Bryant graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick134
Rnd4
Brashard Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Brashard Smith at slot 134, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143
Rnd5
LeQuint Allen
They did well to land LeQuint Allen in Round 5, Pick 5, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Good price on Pat Bryant in No. 155, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick213
Rnd6
Craig Woodson
By-the-book stuff, Craig Woodson at the 213th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick215
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
The board had Luke Lachey higher than the 215th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A real head-scratcher, Teddye Buchanan in slot 228 is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick244
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jeremy Crawshaw
They liked Jeremy Crawshaw enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 245. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
