Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Scott should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Keionte Scott slide 29 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Morris proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at pick 49 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Josiah Trotter
Josiah Trotter at Round 3, Pick 18 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in slot 97 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick161 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
A reach on Pat Coogan in the 161st overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at No. 194 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter in pick No. 234 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Micah Morris
The board had cheaper options than Micah Morris at the 240th pick, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
