Breaking Down G Wyatt Davis

The Vikings drafted G Wyatt Davis with the 86th pick of the 2021 NFL Draft. The Vikings acquired this pick the night before, in a trade down with the Jets. Davis had a second-round grade on most big boards, so picking him up well into the 3rd round was a good value for the Vikings, especially when they got the pick for trading down and selecting the player they may well have selected had they not done so. Davis was also either the 2nd or 3rd ranked guard on most boards, so the Vikings were also able to pick up a relatively high quality player at the position as well.
