Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Vikings treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 230th overall pick on Fabien Lovett a full 117 spots early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Rosemy-Jacksaint steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 12 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, reach and all.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A tidy little value on Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 10, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 130 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallin Holker. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick157 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint slipping to the 157th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
No drama and no debate, LaDarius Henderson went about where he belonged in No. 166. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in the 179th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick227 Rnd7 Myles Cole
Myles Cole at slot 227 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Fabien Lovett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fabien Lovett this early at Round 7, Pick 10. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
