Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Judkins should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Quinshon Judkins, the No. 70 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 140. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They robbed the room for Tate Ratledge here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at the 140th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 5, Pick 24 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
