Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Vikings. The war room fell hard for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, and it showed at Round 1, Pick 18: 22 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hill Jr.. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
In No. 18 they get an enforcer at safety, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
They let Anthony Hill Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 17. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
