Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Milroe: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Jalen Milroe slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Skattebo proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in pick 37, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in No. 96, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 97 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A reach on Denzel Burke in pick No. 103; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
They paid up for Miles Frazier at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
You do not let a quarterback like Jalen Milroe reach Round 4, Pick 27 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane at the 139th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Nice patience on Jake Majors, who had no business lasting to the 141st overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 CJ West
No edge and no loss on CJ West in the 187th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick222 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A reach for Isaac TeSlaa in No. 222; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
