Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesB+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Nolen: B+.

Call it larceny. Walter Nolen sat on the board until pick 97, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Travis Hunter
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Travis Hunter in the 34th overall pick, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at the Round 3 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick99 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 99 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in pick 105, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
They will replay Dylan Fairchild at the 139th pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in slot 160 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
