Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Fields: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malachi Fields, the No. 72 name on the board, stolen at Round 3, Pick 33. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love slipping to pick No. 18 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They let Anthony Hill Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 17. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in the 82nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Taking Malachi Fields in pick 97 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nate Boerkircher in the 161st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 VJ Payne
No edge and no loss on VJ Payne in No. 194; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 234 is the definition of value, full stop. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick240 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
