Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Wheatley: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Zakee Wheatley, the No. 69 name on the board, stolen at the 97th pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 18 they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
By-the-book stuff, Deontae Lawson at pick 49 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Zakee Wheatley in Round 3, Pick 33, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
The board had Ted Hurst higher than the 161st pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the 194th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Nothing to complain about; Ethan O'Connor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They took Jordan Hall at par in slot 240, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
