Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Lew: B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Connor Lew, the No. 54 name on the board, in slot 79.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 17 they get a ballhawk on the back end, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They let Sonny Styles come to them and pounced at No. 48. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79 Rnd3 Connor Lew
The board fumbled Connor Lew all the way to pick No. 79, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at slot 97 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick164 Rnd5 LJ Martin
They read the board right and LJ Martin was the payoff at the 164th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Evan Stewart at the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
A straight-up fair deal on Tristan Leigh at pick 231, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick243 Rnd7 Brett Norfleet
Brett Norfleet in the 243rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
