Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Vikings this weekend: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Vikings did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Davis left real value on the table behind him.

The Vikings clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. The Beebe pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 11 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in slot 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 19, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick83 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Ray Davis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ray Davis this early at the 90th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Max Melton
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in the 109th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at pick No. 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
By-the-book stuff, Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 5, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick166 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
No edge and no loss on LaDarius Henderson in the 166th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick189 Rnd6 Javon Baker
They did well to land Javon Baker in pick 189, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Christian Jones
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Jones. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick212 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 212 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick227 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at slot 227 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
