Draft Grade — Vikings

FutureB-
The Vikings turned the phones into found money: B. The real work happened on the phones. The Vikings fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Peter Woods
In the 18th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at Round 2, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49
Rnd2
Deontae Lawson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deontae Lawson. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
