Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings turned the phones into found money: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Vikings spent the Round 7 slot on Hykeem Williams, a name the board had a full 46 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hurst.

The J.K. Dobbins pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They paid sticker price for D'Angelo Ponds in pick No. 49, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Fair-plus on Domonique Orange, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
They paid a round early for Mike Washington Jr. in the 97th pick, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones at the 130th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Value said wait; Xavier Nwankpa in Round 5, Pick 23 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
You do not let a wide receiver like Ted Hurst reach pick No. 194 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in Round 7, Pick 18 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at the 240th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
