Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Echoles. Final grade: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Will Echoles slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at pick No. 62. Highway robbery.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Ahmad Hardy
Nothing to complain about; Ahmad Hardy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Somehow Will Echoles was still sitting there in pick 62, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick65 Rnd3 Trey'Dez Green
They barely believed it either: Trey'Dez Green still on the board at Round 3, Pick 1. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick70 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Greg Johnson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick78 Rnd3 LaNorris Sellers
LaNorris Sellers slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at slot 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104 Rnd4 Jaylen McClain
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylen McClain in the 104th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Terry Moore
A safety of that caliber at the 110th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
They took Raylen Wilson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cooper Barkate
Cooper Barkate at pick No. 133 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Myles Graham
Value with a capital V on Myles Graham in Round 5, Pick 2, a genuine coup. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick167 Rnd5 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at slot 167 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick186 Rnd6 John Curry
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, John Curry in No. 186, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick212 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
By-the-book stuff, Earnest Greene III at the 212th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick231 Rnd7 Bryce Thornton
Bryce Thornton at pick 231 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Maraad Watson
No drama and no debate, Maraad Watson went about where he belonged in the 250th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
