Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Sainristil: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Mike Sainristil slide 28 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Thrash pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in pick 32 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Leonard Taylor III
A reach for Leonard Taylor III in the 51st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52 Rnd2 Trey Benson
They took Trey Benson at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jamari Thrash
A premium they did not need to pay, Jamari Thrash a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at slot 157 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Gabriel Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Gabriel Murphy at the 161st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They paid sticker price for Gabe Hall in No. 168, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick179 Rnd6 Mike Sainristil
Circle this one: Mike Sainristil at Round 6, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Ricky White
They read the board right and Ricky White was the payoff at Round 7, Pick 21. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
