Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B.

The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Haynes King at Round 7, Pick 24 regardless, 70 picks early.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Love makes the weekend a net positive.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A slide stopped in pick 49, with Anthony Hill Jr. worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in pick No. 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sam Hecht
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sam Hecht at Round 3, Pick 33 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at the 161st pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
A reach on Rayshaun Benny in No. 194; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
They paid up for Isaiah Jatta at the 234th pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Haynes King
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Haynes King well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
