Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B.

The Vikings clearly saw something nobody else did in Brandon Cleveland, taking him 76 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The Scott steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 18 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Nothing to complain about; Jake Slaughter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A top-tier safety at a bargain, A.J. Haulcy in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Taking Keionte Scott in the 97th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sam Roush
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sam Roush in pick No. 108. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
They did well to land Zxavian Harris in the 163rd overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 15: Keagen Trost for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
Fair-plus on Noah Whittington, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brett Norfleet. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Brandon Cleveland
A big swing on Brandon Cleveland at slot 244, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at the 256th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
