Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Vikings to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Lew to cover a lot of smaller sins. Reaching for Hall left real value on the table behind him. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 18 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A tidy bit of business in slot 49, where Sonny Styles graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew slid further than he should have, and the 82nd overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They paid a round early for Oscar Delp in the 161st pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at pick 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They jumped the gun on Jordan Hall, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman in No. 240 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
