Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Vikings spent No. 234 on Hykeem Williams, a name most had 52 spots down the list.

However the rest shakes out, Cameron at that price is a win they earned. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 18 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A tidy little value on Caleb Banks in the 49th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at No. 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They reached a country mile for Xavier Nwankpa at the 161st pick, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Pat Coogan. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Miles Kitselman this early at the 194th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Josh Cameron
You do not let a wide receiver like Josh Cameron reach No. 220 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 12 is lovely value for the cornerback. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at slot 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
Nice patience on DJ Harvey, who had no business lasting to pick No. 240. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
