Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for McNeil-Warren: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Emmanuel McNeil-Warren got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at slot 82. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy in pick No. 20 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A quiet steal in No. 49: Caleb Banks for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick82 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
The board fumbled Emmanuel McNeil-Warren all the way to the 82nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick92 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in the 92nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They did well to land Bryce Lance in Round 3, Pick 33, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Emmett Johnson worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zxavian Harris in pick 163. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick177 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ar'maj Reed-Adams at slot 177. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cole Payton
A clean, defensible pick in No. 196 with a little surplus value in Cole Payton. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at Round 7, Pick 18 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick235 Rnd7 TJ Hall
You do not let a cornerback like TJ Hall reach slot 235 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick244 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
They let Owen Heinecke come to them and pounced at pick 244. A minor itch, scratched.
