The Vikings let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Keon Coleman, the No. 36 name on the board, in No. 108.
Every board in the league had Knox lower, and that gap is the story. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The Vikings indulged a want in Brownlee Jr. while a need in safety stayed open.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, J.J. McCarthy and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick37
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick 37 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick43
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick89
Rnd3
Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in Round 3, Pick 26 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick107
Rnd4
Will Shipley
A straight-up fair deal on Will Shipley at the 107th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108
Rnd4
Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at pick No. 108 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Trevor Keegan
A big swing on Trevor Keegan at slot 128, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A curious use of the 136th pick. Safety needed the pick; a cornerback in Jarvis Brownlee Jr. did not.
Pick156
Rnd5
Drake Nugent
This one needs a full-page explanation: Drake Nugent in No. 156, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166
Rnd5
Myles Murphy
They reached a country mile for Myles Murphy at Round 5, Pick 30, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176
Rnd6
Trey Knox
Trey Knox at pick 176 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
They reached into another round for Jaylen Harrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230
Rnd7
Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in slot 230 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick246
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tahj Washington in the 253rd pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
