Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C- for the Vikings.

The Vikings put a flag in the ground for Montravius Lloyd, 400 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.

On value alone, Stowers makes the weekend a net positive. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Justice Haynes
In the 18th overall pick they get a featured back, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 DJ Harvey
They reached into another round for DJ Harvey, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 3, Pick 18 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Montravius Lloyd
Montravius Lloyd at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kendrick Law
Kendrick Law at No. 161 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in slot 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick234 Rnd7 Will Lee III
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Will Lee III in pick 234, plain and simple. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Eli Stowers
The board fumbled Eli Stowers all the way to the Round 7 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
