Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eyabi Okie-Anoma in Round 7, Pick 10, a good 122 spots before the room expected him.

Landing McMillan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 11 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
No drama and no debate, Byron Murphy II went about where he belonged in pick 42. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Steal is underselling it; Jalen McMillan at the 108th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in Round 4, Pick 30, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 148th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on LaDarius Henderson at No. 160, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 166th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick179 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Anderson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
A real head-scratcher, Eyabi Okie-Anoma in pick No. 230 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
