Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Pritchett: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Nehemiah Pritchett, the No. 146 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 5 slot.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in slot 48; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at No. 96, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter is a better player than Round 4, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Nothing to complain about; Kris Abrams-Draine went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A tidy little value on Malik Mustapha in the 148th overall pick, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at pick 160 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 165 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in the 179th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
