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

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Eli Stowers fell into pick No. 97. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Morris reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They read the board right and Sonny Styles was the payoff at pick No. 49. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at slot 82 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Steal is underselling it; Eli Stowers at No. 97 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts is a better player than the 161st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Zuhn III. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A reach for Micah Morris in pick 234; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek in the 240th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
