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

When a board-topper like Jake Slaughter slides to the 97th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Vikings did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeremiyah Love at Round 1, Pick 18 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in No. 49 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick82 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick 82 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at pick No. 97. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nate Boerkircher in the 161st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Nice patience on Josh Cameron, who had no business lasting to the 194th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Raylen Wilson
A tidy bit of business in the Round 7 slot, where Raylen Wilson graded well above the range. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick240 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
Value with a capital V on DJ Harvey in slot 240, a genuine coup. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
