Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Proctor: A-.

When a board-topper like Josh Proctor slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Vikings did not. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Davis pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick 55 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick86 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick No. 86 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 91 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Taking Christian Mahogany in the 108th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in No. 128 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in the 130th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Nothing to complain about; Malik Mustapha went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They took Keith Randolph Jr. at par in Round 5, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A straight-up fair deal on Kitan Oladapo at No. 160, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah Davis at the 164th overall pick, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Chau Smith-Wade
The board fumbled Chau Smith-Wade all the way to slot 179, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Ethan Driskell at pick 184 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick213 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
You do not let a safety like Josh Proctor reach the 213th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick228 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Good price on Steele Chambers in pick No. 228, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick230 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
They robbed the room for Sheridan Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
