Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Miller fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Christen Miller at No. 82 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Bissainthe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 49th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at pick No. 82 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Value with a capital V on Connor Lew in Round 3, Pick 33, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
They jumped the gun on Domani Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keyshaun Elliott
Keyshaun Elliott at No. 196 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick234 Rnd7 Wesley Bissainthe
They reached into another round for Wesley Bissainthe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick235 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They barely believed it either: Thaddeus Dixon still on the board at pick 235. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick244 Rnd7 Barion Brown
The board had cheaper options than Barion Brown at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
