Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Vikings worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Every board in the league had Harris lower, and that gap is the story. The Thieneman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, DaRon Bland leading the way.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 26th pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick60 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Somehow Dillon Thieneman was still sitting there in slot 60, and they pounced on premier safety value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Circle this one: Caleb Banks at pick No. 63 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick82 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III in Round 3, Pick 18 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick125 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Demond Claiborne at pick 125 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams in No. 131 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Value with a capital V on Sam Roush in the 161st overall pick, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick194 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Jatta at No. 194 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Michael Harris
A real head-scratcher, Michael Harris in Round 7, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They paid sticker price for Jordan Hall in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
