Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Vikings turned the phones into found money: A-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Evan Williams in slot 246, a good 36 spots before the room expected him. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That Braswell pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, with Rome Odunze leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Rome Odunze in the 25th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 76 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Good price on Dominick Puni in the 108th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 113 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Nothing to complain about; Justin Eboigbe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They let Cam Hart come to them and pounced at pick 148. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick160 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Taking Javion Cohen in slot 168 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
No drama and no debate, Curtis Jacobs went about where he belonged in the 179th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 230 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick233 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Xavier Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the 246th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
