Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Vikings spent the 240th overall pick on Shilo Sanders, a name the board had a full 47 spots lower.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 39th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 72 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter is a better player than No. 97 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 187, where Jaydon Blue graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kitan Crawford
They liked Kitan Crawford enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shilo Sanders this early at pick 240. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
