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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Trinidad Chambliss got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at slot 199.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Metcalf left real value on the table behind him.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 15 they get a downhill hitter at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jake Slaughter in the Round 2 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Will Lee III
Will Lee III slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 16 is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nicholas Singleton in slot 97. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 161st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick199 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
They barely believed it either: Trinidad Chambliss still on the board at the 199th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
Tristan Leigh at No. 231 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
A premium they did not need to pay, TJ Metcalf a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
