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

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Vikings were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

The Judkins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Isiah Pacheco pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 31 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick63 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A running back of that caliber at No. 97 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
No edge and no loss on Jackson Slater in pick No. 140; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
They paid a round early for Dorian Strong in the 161st pick, more than the board wanted. A minor itch, scratched.
