Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings answered their biggest question with Ward. Grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Zy Alexander, the No. 72 name on the board, stolen at No. 187. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The whole projection now runs through Cam Ward; hit there and everything else looks smarter. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Cam Ward
Cam Ward slipping to pick No. 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 97 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
They robbed the room for Zy Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
