Adam0831 DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B-

TradesB-
FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B- to prove it. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Vikings to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The back end got a real overhaul.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick15
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at the 15th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick46
Rnd2
CJ Allen
A tidy little value on CJ Allen in pick No. 46, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick80
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
No edge and no loss on Nicholas Singleton in pick 80; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97
Rnd3
Keon Sabb
Keon Sabb at the 97th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161
Rnd5
Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at Round 5, Pick 22 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at slot 199 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick231
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
They took Lawson Luckie at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick243
Rnd7
Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at No. 243 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
