Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
A-
ValueB
NeedC+
TradesA+
FutureA+
Sanders should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a A-. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Raheim Sanders, the No. 148 name on the board, stolen at slot 199. This is how you run a draft, and the A- reflects it.
The Bryant pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Armand Membou

Tyler Booker
In pick 31 they get a building block for the line, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick32

Jihaad Campbell
In slot 32 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, reach and all. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison at pick No. 35 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick36
Rnd2
Nic Scourton
Nothing to complain about; Nic Scourton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick38
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Jack Sawyer at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.

Pick40
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
No edge and no loss on Tyleik Williams in the 40th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen in No. 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 42nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick43
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Watts. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jaxson Dart
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaxson Dart in the 44th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45
Rnd2
T.J. Sanders
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Sanders at pick No. 45 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick46
Rnd2
Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow at pick 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick47
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at No. 47 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick50
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick62
Rnd2
Elic Ayomanor
A tidy little value on Elic Ayomanor in the 62nd pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick64
Rnd2
Zy Alexander
Good price on Zy Alexander in slot 64, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick75
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Nice patience on Deone Walker, who had no business lasting to the 75th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick81
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They did well to land Mason Taylor in pick 85, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 87 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Moore at Round 3, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
They paid sticker price for Quinn Ewers in the 91st overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Devin Neal
They let Devin Neal come to them and pounced at pick No. 95. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
A slide stopped in slot 97, with Danny Stutsman worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They took Jake Majors at par in No. 99, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100
Rnd3
Sebastian Castro
Value with a capital V on Sebastian Castro in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 101. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
A quiet steal in the 104th overall pick: Ozzy Trapilo for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 108 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 9, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at the 112th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick113
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 113 with a little surplus value in Jared Wilson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
They jumped the gun on O'Donnell Fortune, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick117
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
A straight-up fair deal on Luke Kandra at the 117th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Anthony Belton

Pick126
Rnd4
Darius Alexander

Pick131

They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick132
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick 132 is lovely value for the safety. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick134
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick 134 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick137
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Fair-plus on Cody Simon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick138
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa

Pick179

Pick199
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
They robbed the room for Raheim Sanders here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200
Rnd6
Luke Elzinga
Luke Elzinga at Round 6, Pick 22 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the specialist. Stacking talent where they were already deep.

Pick204

Pick205
Rnd6

Pick228
Rnd7
Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor at pick 228 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick229
Rnd7
Jonas Sanker
Taking Jonas Sanker in the 229th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232
Rnd7
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish slipping to Round 7, Pick 14 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
