Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Muhammad. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Malik Muhammad, the 97th overall pick, roughly 20 picks past where he belonged.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Coogan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 18 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A slide stopped in the Round 2 slot, with CJ Allen worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley in Round 3, Pick 18 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at the 97th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick162 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They jumped the gun on Pat Coogan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid sticker price for Trey Zuhn III in slot 195, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
No edge and no loss on Shamar Easter in the 234th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes in pick No. 240 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
