Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Peebles should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B-.

Call it larceny. Aeneas Peebles sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: running back settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick 24 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the 97th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick139 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Restrepo in the 139th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Aeneas Peebles
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Aeneas Peebles reach No. 187 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
