Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
C
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB-
The Vikings got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trey Zuhn III at slot 180, a reach of 66 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. On value alone, Hecht makes the weekend a net positive.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
If Kenyon Sadiq and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 20 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
By-the-book stuff, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at Round 2, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Lee Hunter at the 62nd overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82
Rnd3
Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in the 82nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ted Hurst
You do not let a wide receiver like Ted Hurst reach pick No. 108 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Sam Hecht
The board fumbled Sam Hecht all the way to slot 112, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick163
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
They let Zxavian Harris come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III at Round 5, Pick 40 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196
Rnd6
Toriano Pride Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Toriano Pride Jr. at the 196th pick, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick235
Rnd7
Aiden Fisher
A quiet steal in pick 235: Aiden Fisher for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick246
Rnd7
Andre Fuller
Andre Fuller at No. 246 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
