Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Coleman fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jonah Coleman, the No. 66 name on the board, in pick 97. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th pick they get the heartbeat of the defense, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in slot 49: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in the 82nd overall pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Jonah Coleman at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Zxavian Harris at No. 163 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 196 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
They paid sticker price for Andre Fuller in pick 234, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick235 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at Round 7, Pick 19 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brent Austin
They did well to land Brent Austin in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
