Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Vikings let Collins fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Alfred Collins tumbling to the Vikings in the 187th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, David Edwards leading the way.

Trust the process, because this time the process plainly worked.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in Round 1, Pick 30 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Jahdae Barron in pick 97, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
You do not let an offensive lineman like Dylan Fairchild reach No. 139 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Alfred Collins
Somehow Alfred Collins was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
