Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Horton. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tory Horton had no business being available in slot 139, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Frazier pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick 24 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 97th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tory Horton
You do not let a wide receiver like Tory Horton reach Round 5, Pick 1 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in No. 187 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
