Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings let Harvey fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. RJ Harvey tumbling to the Vikings in pick 213 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 97th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Value with a capital V on Anthony Belton in slot 128, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at pick 140 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick161 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
They robbed the room for LeQuint Allen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
They did well to land Tyler Cooper in pick No. 171, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175 Rnd5 Logan Brown
Taking Logan Brown in Round 5, Pick 36 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
They read the board right and Dorian Strong was the payoff at No. 179. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick185 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 7, with Jack Nelson worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick206 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in slot 206 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Circle this one: Jaylen Reed at the 208th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick213 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Steal is underselling it; RJ Harvey at pick 213 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jonas Sanker in pick No. 245, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
