Belton should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Anthony Belton tumbling to the Vikings in Round 5, Pick 22 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick97
Rnd3
Demetrius Knight Jr.
They will replay Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 97th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 140th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at slot 161 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
