Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 82 lands the Vikings a B-, Slaughter and all.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Jake Slaughter, the No. 51 name on the board, sitting there at the 82nd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
No drama and no debate, Kayden McDonald went about where he belonged in slot 18. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the 49th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in Round 3, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
Nice patience on Emmett Johnson, who had no business lasting to No. 97. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They did well to land Aaron Anderson in the 161st pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Thaddeus Dixon at the Round 6 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick234 Rnd7 PJ Williams
Nothing to complain about; PJ Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
Jacobe Johnson in pick No. 240 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
