FutureB-
The Vikings won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Drew Kendall at pick No. 173 regardless, 121 picks early.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. On value alone, Warren makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick39
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in pick 39 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at Round 2, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in the 94th pick, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick107
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Gunnar Helm
The board fumbled Gunnar Helm all the way to No. 109, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick119
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Fair-plus on Billy Bowman Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brashard Smith in the 139th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159
Rnd5
Luke Kandra
Nothing to complain about; Luke Kandra went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick173
Rnd5
Drew Kendall
They reached a country mile for Drew Kendall at slot 173, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177
Rnd6
Upton Stout
They paid a round early for Upton Stout in pick 177, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Good price on Jay Higgins in No. 206, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jason Marshall Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jason Marshall Jr. in the 215th pick, a genuine coup. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick221
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
Desmond Watson in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai slid further than he should have, and pick No. 222 is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Robert Longerbeam
Nice patience on Robert Longerbeam, who had no business lasting to pick 233. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick237
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 237 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
You do not let a wide receiver like Isaac TeSlaa reach No. 250 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
