zfootball117917 DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
C+
ValueC
NeedB-

FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Vikings: C+. The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Taylen Green at the 97th overall pick regardless, 88 picks early.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The back end got a real overhaul.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jonah Coleman
They reached a country mile for Jonah Coleman at the 49th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in No. 82 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97
Rnd3
Taylen Green
A real head-scratcher, Taylen Green in Round 3, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
