Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD-
Larceny in No. 97 lands the Vikings a B, Arroyo and all.

The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Landing Arroyo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in Round 2, Pick 2 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nice patience on Nick Emmanwori, who had no business lasting to pick 35. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick64 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to pick No. 64 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 65 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Somehow Elijah Arroyo was still sitting there in the 97th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
