Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 97th overall pick lands the Vikings a B-, Taaffe and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Michael Taaffe slide 31 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The cost of the Singleton reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: safety settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In No. 11 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Anthony Hill Jr. in the 42nd pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
A big swing on Nicholas Singleton at the 73rd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
A safety of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson in slot 200 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
They went early on Amare Campbell in pick 226, and the value did not follow. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A premium they did not need to pay, Tristan Leigh a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
