Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesA FutureB-
Larceny in slot 248 lands the Vikings a B+, Milum and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Wyatt Milum at the Round 7 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
Travis Hunter at slot 33 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at pick No. 95. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at No. 97 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
They let Jared Wilson come to them and pounced at the 128th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134 Rnd4 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick 134 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach the 140th overall pick and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick161 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Steal is underselling it; Armand Membou at the 165th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cam Ward
Circle this one: Cam Ward at Round 5, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick217 Rnd6 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick248 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in slot 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
