Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesD FutureA
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Of all the ways to open, the Vikings chose the head-scratcher, spending the 130th pick on Cade Stover with edge rusher still wide open. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Bishop pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Good price on Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick101 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving slipping to the 101st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in slot 103 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cade Stover at TE-EDGE with edge rusher open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the 148th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
They took Justin Rogers at par in No. 168, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
No drama and no debate, Jacob Cowing went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 4. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Trey Knox
By-the-book stuff, Trey Knox at pick 185 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick251 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Value with a capital V on Aaron Frost in slot 251, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
