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

The Eric Gentry pick is the one that will follow the Vikings into the fall. They took him 98 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Landing Robertson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Avieon Terrell
In No. 31 they get an island corner, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
Good price on Kamari Ramsey in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Value with a capital V on Jake Slaughter in Round 2, Pick 21, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Darrell Jackson Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick84 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A slide stopped in pick No. 84, with Eli Stowers worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in slot 95 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Perkins Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 33. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
Chase Bisontis at slot 108 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They jumped the gun on Max Iheanachor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kage Casey
No edge and no loss on Kage Casey in pick 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Sawyer Robertson
They barely believed it either: Sawyer Robertson still on the board at pick No. 234. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick236 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They reached a country mile for J. Michael Sturdivant at the 236th pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick244 Rnd7 Barion Brown
By-the-book stuff, Barion Brown at the 244th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick247 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eric Gentry this early at the 247th overall pick. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jack Velling
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Velling. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
