Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Lacy: B-.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Kewan Lacy, the No. 49 name on the board, sitting there at the 82nd pick like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jay'Vion Cole
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Myles Graham
No edge and no loss on Myles Graham in pick No. 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Kewan Lacy
They barely believed it either: Kewan Lacy still on the board at slot 82. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers in the 97th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
