Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B.

The Vikings clearly saw something nobody else did in Zach Frazier, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Colson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In slot 27 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chris Braswell in pick 42. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick50 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They reached a country mile for Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 18, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They jumped the gun on Cooper Beebe, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
A slide stopped in the 108th pick, with Spencer Rattler worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in No. 130 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick137 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in No. 137: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in Round 5, Pick 12 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at the 160th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Good price on Malik Washington in pick 165, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Steele Chambers at pick No. 230 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
