Draft Grade — Vikings

A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B-.

Priorities are a choice, and the Vikings made a strange one, taking Taurean York at linebacker in Round 3, Pick 33 with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Anderson II lower, and that gap is the story.

Getting York where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 18 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at pick 49 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman slipping to No. 82 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Taurean York
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 33: Taurean York adds a linebacker while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick161 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They paid sticker price for DJ Campbell in the 161st overall pick, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
A slide stopped in slot 194, with Miles Kitselman worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tosh Baker
Tosh Baker at the 234th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Raheem Anderson II
Value said wait; Raheem Anderson II in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
