Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA+
The Vikings robbed the room for Neal. Final grade: B.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Julian Neal fell into pick No. 97.

The Jackson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick No. 49 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick83 Rnd3 Max Klare
They will replay Max Klare at No. 83 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94 Rnd3 Adon Shuler
By-the-book stuff, Adon Shuler at slot 94 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in the 97th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick125 Rnd4 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A quiet steal in pick 125: Emmanuel McNeil-Warren for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Edge rusher and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Domani Jackson did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Eric Rivers at the 157th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Raleek Brown
No drama and no debate, Raleek Brown went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 23. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 Monroe Mills
Monroe Mills at pick No. 196 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
Good price on Raylen Wilson in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 235 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick244 Rnd7 Miller Moss
They robbed the room for Miller Moss here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
