Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Hadden: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kamal Hadden tumbling to the Vikings in No. 190 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 11 they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 42 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in DeWayne Carter. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
No edge and no loss on Jamari Thrash in the 130th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They did well to land Jarrian Jones in No. 156, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in pick No. 166 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in the 179th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
You do not let a cornerback like Kamal Hadden reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
