Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

Nobody had Alex Birchmeier this high, and it is not close. The Vikings reached 38 spots to get him at No. 231.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Sarratt pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Ponds pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick 16 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick47 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
They paid up for Jonah Coleman at slot 47 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Taking Elijah Sarratt in Round 3, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jaeden Roberts
Fair-plus on Jaeden Roberts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick117 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 117th overall pick on D'Angelo Ponds with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis is a better player than pick No. 171 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick213 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
A tidy bit of business in the 213th overall pick, where Isaiah Nwokobia graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
A real head-scratcher, Fernando Carmona in pick 230 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick231 Rnd7 Alex Birchmeier
A big swing on Alex Birchmeier at the 231st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
