Minnesota's Value Play Isn't the First-Rounder

The Vikings address secondary early, taking KJ Bolden 13th — a spot where the model (8th) and the room (13th) actually align. The real conviction shows up at 45. Rasheem Biles carries a 50-spot model-vs-room gap, the model slotting him 15th overall while the room has him buried at 65th with a 21% bust rate. That's the pick that tests whether Minnesota trusts its own board over the field's.
