Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Price should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jadarian Price slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at the 97th overall pick. Highway robbery.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Hall lower, and that gap is the story.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at slot 49 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the 82nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in No. 97 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick162 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Nice patience on Tanner Koziol, who had no business lasting to pick No. 162. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They did well to land Thaddeus Dixon in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick234 Rnd7 PJ Williams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on PJ Williams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A wild overpay on Jordan Hall in pick 240, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
