Gbarti DRAFTING FOR THEVikings

Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureA+
The Vikings won the night they stopped York from sliding. Grade: A. 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. They executed a plan and it shows in the A.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took York. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Vikings clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.
In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love in pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dontay Corleone
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 49, where Dontay Corleone graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82
Rnd3
Taurean York
Steal is underselling it; Taurean York at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161
Rnd5
Keylan Rutledge
Somehow Keylan Rutledge was still sitting there in the 161st pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196
Rnd6
Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at Round 6, Pick 15 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick239
Rnd7
Josh Cuevas
Fair-plus on Josh Cuevas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244
Rnd7
Malik Hartford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Hartford in the Round 7 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
