Draft Grade — Vikings

FutureB
Nobody dealt better than the Vikings this weekend: B+. The real work happened on the phones. The Vikings fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Belton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
The Longerbeam pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In slot 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick127
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
The board had Anthony Belton higher than the 127th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176
Rnd5
Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings is a better player than the 176th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187
Rnd6
Clay Webb
Clay Webb in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick201
Rnd6
Robert Longerbeam
A big swing on Robert Longerbeam at pick 201, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in No. 203 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Nothing to complain about; Jabbar Muhammad went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
