Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

For all the boxes ticked, the Vikings skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 13 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 12 with a little surplus value in Jake Slaughter. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Deontae Lawson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Austin Siereveld
No drama and no debate, Austin Siereveld went about where he belonged in pick 97. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kyle Louis
They did well to land Kyle Louis in pick No. 170, just ahead of his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick213 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
By-the-book stuff, DeAndre Moore Jr. at the 213th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
