Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Vikings.

The Joshua Sales Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Vikings reached 244 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

Landing Pieper that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

So much rides on Nick Marsh that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Marsh
Nick Marsh in the 30th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Kade Pieper
Taking Kade Pieper in No. 62 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
Devan Thompkins at slot 70 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Anthony Boswell
They paid a round early for Anthony Boswell in pick No. 94, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick158 Rnd5 Chris Marshall
Chris Marshall at the 158th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ian Strong
They jumped the gun on Ian Strong, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Horace Lockett
They paid sticker price for Horace Lockett in No. 169, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Adepoju Adebawore
Value said wait; Adepoju Adebawore in the 183rd pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cael Winter
A real head-scratcher, Cael Winter in the 212th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Sales Jr.
A wild overpay on Joshua Sales Jr. in pick No. 251, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
