Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedC+ TradesF FutureD
Skattebo should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a D+.

Somebody took the Vikings to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The math is unkind, and the D+ follows.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Skattebo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 97 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the 140th pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
A quiet steal in No. 161: Jonah Monheim for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
