Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureC+
Grand theft in No. 213: the Vikings steal Martinez and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Damien Martinez slide 57 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A slide stopped in pick No. 37, with Nick Emmanwori worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick41 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in pick 41 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Brown
By-the-book stuff, Logan Brown at the 139th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at No. 187 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick213 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Circle this one: Damien Martinez at the 213th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick215 Rnd6 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at slot 215 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
