Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B-. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Vikings did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
If Thieneman pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Dillon Thieneman
In pick 18 they get a rangy last line of defense, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmanuel Pregnon
They let Emmanuel Pregnon come to them and pounced at slot 49. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
