Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Scott. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Keionte Scott slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at slot 97. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They are betting Kelly proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
They let Jeremiyah Love come to them and pounced at No. 18. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Value with a capital V on Dillon Thieneman in the 49th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in pick 82 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 97th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick163 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
Nice patience on Skyler Gill-Howard, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 23. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Steal is underselling it; Aaron Anderson at pick No. 196 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman is a better player than the Round 7 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick235 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
No edge and no loss on Owen Heinecke in slot 235; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
A reach on Jack Kelly in the Round 7 slot; the board had better options right there. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
