Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Vikings went off the board in a big way for Clay Webb, 60 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Henderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at Round 1, Pick 30 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at No. 91 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A quiet steal in the 97th overall pick: Andrew Mukuba for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at the 108th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They will replay O'Donnell Fortune at slot 140 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A tidy bit of business in pick 161, where Tommi Hill graded well above the range. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They talked themselves into Clay Webb at the 185th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick206 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
