Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Vikings spent real capital to be 26 picks early on Ty Robinson, and the board is going to hold them to it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On value alone, Starks makes the weekend a net positive.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Nice patience on Devin Neal, who had no business lasting to the 96th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Anthony Belton
A reach for Anthony Belton in pick No. 97; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick129 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Good price on Emery Jones Jr. in pick 129, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A tidy little value on Cody Simon in No. 136, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ty Robinson. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They took Pat Bryant at par in the 149th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 187 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A clean, defensible pick in No. 204 with a little surplus value in Tahj Brooks. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 239th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
