Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
The Vikings landed square in the muddy middle: C+. The rest of the league had time to spare on Deontae Lawson; the Vikings did not wait, grabbing him 29 spots ahead at the Round 2 slot.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In the 11th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43
Rnd2
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in pick 43 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
