Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Golday should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a D.

Somebody took the Vikings to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The Golday pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slipping to pick No. 49 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick60 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lee Hunter in Round 2, Pick 28. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to slot 97, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in pick 126, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Nate Boerkircher worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in slot 194 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Thaddeus Dixon in pick 234 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick240 Rnd7 Miller Moss
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Miller Moss at No. 240. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
