Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Lew: B.

When a board-topper like Connor Lew slides to slot 240, you do not overthink it, and the Vikings did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 David Bailey
In pick No. 18 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jermod McCoy
Jermod McCoy at pick 49 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
They will replay Jonah Coleman at the 82nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Carnell Tate
Carnell Tate in the 97th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in Round 5, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tyreak Sapp
Somehow Tyreak Sapp was still sitting there in No. 234, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at slot 240 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
