Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Vikings worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Vikings shredded theirs for Brevyn Spann-Ford. He came off 49 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Vikings indulged a want in Hart while a need in quarterback and safety stayed open. The Jones pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, with Chris Braswell leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in the 40th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
A straight-up fair deal on Kamari Lassiter at Round 2, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick99 Rnd3 Cam Hart
A want over a need in No. 99: Cam Hart adds a cornerback while quarterback and safety keeps waiting.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in the 109th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
A real head-scratcher, Isaiah Davis in pick No. 130 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Taking Christian Jones in pick 156 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached a country mile for Jordan Jefferson at No. 166, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garret Greenfield this early at slot 179. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick181 Rnd6 Erick All
They reached into another round for Erick All, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They talked themselves into Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 190, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 223rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
