Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Collins: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Alfred Collins slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at the 96th overall pick. Highway robbery. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Briningstool left real value on the table behind him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick96 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Alfred Collins reach Round 3, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in the 97th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
The board had cheaper options than Tyler Shough at No. 128, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick134 Rnd4 Jake Briningstool
They reached a country mile for Jake Briningstool at the 134th pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They did well to land Brashard Smith in pick No. 139, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Quincy Riley. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Fair-plus on Dont'e Thornton Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
No edge and no loss on Nazir Stackhouse in Round 6, Pick 29; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in slot 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
