Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Price: C+.

Somebody took the Vikings to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

However the rest shakes out, Price at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Hall pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

If Brandon Cisse and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse at pick 49 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
You do not let a running back like Jadarian Price reach pick No. 82 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Good price on Jacob Rodriguez in the 97th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They let Zachariah Branch come to them and pounced at the 125th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
No drama and no debate, DJ Campbell went about where he belonged in slot 161. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Bryce Foster
A reach on Bryce Foster in No. 194; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at Round 7, Pick 18 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Value with a capital V on Ethan O'Connor in slot 240, a genuine coup. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
