Jaybeast17 DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB+

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B- to prove it. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Cobee Bryant at the Round 3 slot is 29 spots clear of where he belonged.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Giddens falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In the 24th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 97th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jackson Slater
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Slater a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187
Rnd6
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens slid further than he should have, and No. 187 is lovely value for the running back. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
