Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Eli Heidenreich at the Round 6 slot regardless, 44 picks early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Thieneman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 18 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 17 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Daylen Everette. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in slot 97 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick163 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan at the 163rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta at the 234th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Barion Brown
They reached a country mile for Barion Brown at pick No. 240, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
