Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Vikings spent pick No. 240 on Tony Rojas, a name the board had a full 34 spots lower.

The Lew steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In pick No. 24 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A tidy little value on Dillon Thieneman in slot 49, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at pick 82 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
The board had Nicholas Singleton higher than the Round 3 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Value with a capital V on Joe Royer in the 107th overall pick, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
No edge and no loss on Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ted Hurst. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
They took Jermaine Mathews Jr. at par in the 161st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick194 Rnd6 J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at the 194th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
Fair-plus on Trey Zuhn III, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They talked themselves into Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas in pick 240 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jalil Farooq
Jalil Farooq at Round 7, Pick 32 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
