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

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cam Skattebo fell into the Round 5 slot. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Booker lower, and that gap is the story. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They barely believed it either: Omarr Norman-Lott still on the board at the 97th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in pick No. 139, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill in slot 187 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
