Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Vikings spent the 226th overall pick on Michael Harris, a name most had 119 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Lew pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: safety settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In No. 11 they get a rangy last line of defense, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq in pick No. 42 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the 73rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
By-the-book stuff, Nicholas Singleton at Round 3, Pick 33 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A reach for Davison Igbinosun in slot 161; a little patience would have been rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick200 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in the 200th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick226 Rnd7 Michael Harris
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Harris well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
