Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

The Vikings put a flag in the ground for Hayden Conner, 48 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They banked enough surplus on Burke to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In pick No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick121 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Taking Denzel Burke in the 121st overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
They will replay Kalel Mullings at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at Round 5, Pick 22 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They reached a country mile for Clay Webb at No. 210, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
