Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B-.

Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Vikings to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Williams steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jared Wilson in the 97th pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nohl Williams at Round 5, Pick 1. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick187 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Nothing to complain about; Connor Colby went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
