Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jordan Hall; the Vikings did not wait, grabbing him 24 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cooper Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: safety settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
They let Arvell Reese come to them and pounced at Round 1, Pick 18. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A clean, defensible pick in No. 49 with a little surplus value in Dillon Thieneman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A conviction pick on Nicholas Singleton at slot 82 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 97, with Omar Cooper Jr. worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Davison Igbinosun in the 162nd overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at the 195th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at No. 234 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Nothing to complain about; Riley Mahlman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
