Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Vikings let Moore fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Malachi Moore slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at pick 187. Highway robbery.

They will need Colby to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick 36 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Deone Walker
They barely believed it either: Deone Walker still on the board at the 109th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Connor Colby
Connor Colby at Round 4, Pick 30 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
They robbed the room for Smael Mondon Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick187 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at the 187th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
You do not let a linebacker like Jack Kiser reach No. 204 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick211 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in pick No. 211 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
