Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 82 lands the Vikings a B-, Price and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jadarian Price tumbling to the Vikings in pick No. 82 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Arvell Reese in the Round 1 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick49 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds in the 49th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They robbed the room for Jadarian Price here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board fumbled Omar Cooper Jr. all the way to Round 3, Pick 33, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in pick 161 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Raylen Wilson. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick234 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They took Riley Mahlman at par in No. 234, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jack Velling
A clean, defensible pick in slot 240 with a little surplus value in Jack Velling. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
