Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Vikings bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Daniel Jackson at pick No. 257 regardless, 48 picks early. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On value alone, Mullings makes the weekend a net positive. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the back end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick No. 62 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in Round 3, Pick 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kalel Mullings
You do not let a running back like Kalel Mullings reach the 131st pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They paid a round early for Tommi Hill in pick 140, more than the board wanted. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Daniel Jackson
Daniel Jackson at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
