Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B-. Some picks age like wine; Rueben Owens II at pick 244 will need to, sitting 65 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Abney II at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 18 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in No. 49 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick89
Rnd3
Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in the 89th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at Round 3, Pick 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
A conviction pick on Michael Trigg at pick 129 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161
Rnd5
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at slot 161 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick189
Rnd6
Lee Hunter
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Lee Hunter well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196
Rnd6
Bud Clark
A reach for Bud Clark in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199
Rnd6
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at No. 199 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They went early on Bryce Foster in Round 7, Pick 18, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick244
Rnd7
Rueben Owens II
They talked themselves into Rueben Owens II at the 244th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
