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

Some picks age like wine; Jalen Thompson at slot 168 will need to, sitting 60 spots clear of his grade.

Landing Pieper that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Will Heldt
In the 30th pick they get a bendy edge with upside, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62 Rnd2 Dashawn Spears
Dashawn Spears in pick No. 62 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick77 Rnd3 Drew Mestemaker
Drew Mestemaker in pick 77 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at the 94th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick157 Rnd5 Brandon Inniss
Brandon Inniss in the Round 5 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Blake Frazier
A reach on Blake Frazier in slot 164; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jalen Thompson
They reached a country mile for Jalen Thompson at pick 168, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
They did well to land Drew Bobo in pick No. 190, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tao Johnson
A tidy little value on Tao Johnson in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Lawson Luckie. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick230 Rnd7 Matt Rose
Matt Rose at Round 7, Pick 9 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
