C
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Vikings lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Vikings torched the value chart for Max Brosmer, taking him 69 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

If Nick Emmanwori and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 32 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in the 64th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at pick No. 97 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A big swing on Jake Briningstool at the 139th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cody Lindenberg
Value said wait; Cody Lindenberg in No. 193 says they were not listening. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick248 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
They reached into another round for Max Brosmer, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
