Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesC FutureA-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Vikings treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 6 slot on Cody Lindenberg a full 69 spots early. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Restrepo.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick128 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 4, Pick 26 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A quiet steal in pick No. 139: Jake Majors for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick159 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune is a better player than the 159th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cody Lindenberg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cody Lindenberg well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick205 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 205th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in the 225th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick250 Rnd7 Max Brosmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Max Brosmer. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
