Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Slaughter. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jake Slaughter slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at pick 82. Highway robbery.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Harris proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In slot 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A clean, defensible pick in the 49th overall pick with a little surplus value in Dillon Thieneman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick No. 82 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Circle this one: Malik Muhammad at No. 97 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 28: Trinidad Chambliss for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
A straight-up fair deal on Jaydn Ott at pick 161, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Barion Brown
A reach on Barion Brown in the 194th pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Lawson Luckie
They went early on Lawson Luckie in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Denver Harris
They paid up for Denver Harris at pick No. 234 when waiting would have done the job. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ja'Keem Jackson
Ja'Keem Jackson in Round 7, Pick 24 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
