Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
Nobody dealt better than the Vikings this weekend: B+.

The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones. The cost of the Tupuola-Fetui reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick47 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson in slot 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in pick 108. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick128 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A reach for Shemar Turner in the 128th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
They paid sticker price for Moose Muhammad III in pick No. 148, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
They took LaDarius Henderson at par in No. 163, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 164th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
The board had Sheridan Jones higher than the 230th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick236 Rnd7 Erick All
The board had cheaper options than Erick All at pick No. 236, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
