Draft Grade — Vikings

Grand theft in the 187th overall pick: the Vikings steal Mullings and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Kalel Mullings slide 26 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Kandra lower, and that gap is the story.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
They took Kenneth Grant at par in the 24th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 97 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
They liked Luke Kandra enough to skip the value, taking him in the 139th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Circle this one: Kalel Mullings at pick 187 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
