Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB+
The Vikings got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. The war room fell hard for Caden Prieskorn, and it showed at slot 224: 136 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Farmer.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori slipping to pick No. 30 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 97th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
By-the-book stuff, Cam Skattebo at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in Round 4, Pick 7 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick116
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at No. 116 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135
Rnd4
Pat Bryant
No drama and no debate, Pat Bryant went about where he belonged in the 135th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
Fair-plus on Mello Dotson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick155
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
They barely believed it either: Joshua Farmer still on the board at pick 155. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191
Rnd6
James Burnip
They will replay James Burnip at pick No. 191 for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick224
Rnd7
Caden Prieskorn
They reached into another round for Caden Prieskorn, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
They paid a round early for Cody Lindenberg in the 231st overall pick, more than the board wanted. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick253
Rnd7
Daniel Jackson
They reached a country mile for Daniel Jackson at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256
Rnd7
Max Brosmer
They talked themselves into Max Brosmer at slot 256, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They jumped the gun on Nick Martin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
