Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The phones sank the Vikings this weekend: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Vikings shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

Every board in the league had Muhammad III lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Smith-Wade falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 23 they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They paid sticker price for Troy Fautanu in the 44th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick55 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They did well to land J.J. McCarthy in slot 55, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick72 Rnd3 Blake Corum
The board had cheaper options than Blake Corum at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 112 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick No. 127 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 149th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick155 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
They reached a country mile for Moose Muhammad III at Round 5, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at pick No. 162 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
A straight-up fair deal on Nelson Ceaser at the 165th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at No. 179 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 6, Pick 11. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade slid further than he should have, and pick 233 is lovely value for the cornerback. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
