Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
Grand theft in slot 101: the Vikings steal Wilson and grade out a B.

Whoever sat across the table from the Vikings should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

However the rest shakes out, Wilson at that price is a win they earned. They are betting McCarthy proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in the 35th pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 10 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They liked Jonathon Brooks enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 51. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A clean, defensible pick in the 90th overall pick with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 101st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
No edge and no loss on DeWayne Carter in pick 103; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 106 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick No. 108 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
By-the-book stuff, Cole Bishop at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 148th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick156 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A slide stopped in No. 156, with Malik Mustapha worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Nice patience on Jaylin Simpson, who had no business lasting to No. 160. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Braelon Allen at pick 166. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the 179th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Erick All
Value with a capital V on Erick All in the 230th pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They barely believed it either: Daequan Hardy still on the board at slot 243. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
