Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
The Vikings let Judkins fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Quinshon Judkins at the 159th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
In pick 25 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at Round 3, Pick 33 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They barely believed it either: Malachi Moore still on the board at the 126th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd5 Maxwell Hairston
The board fumbled Maxwell Hairston all the way to slot 138, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick159 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
