Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Vikings.

The Vikings bet big and early on Hykeem Williams, 46 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Lew steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 18 they get a featured back, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman slipping to the 49th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They robbed the room for Jake Golday here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in Round 3, Pick 33 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
Good price on Ted Hurst in the 161st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dae'Quan Wright
The board had Dae'Quan Wright higher than the Round 6 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at No. 234 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
They reached a country mile for Hykeem Williams at the 240th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
