Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureB
The Vikings robbed the room for Mullings. Final grade: C+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Kalel Mullings got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 187.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Lindenberg to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Hit on Nick Emmanwori and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They let Nick Emmanwori come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 1. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in the 66th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. is a better player than the 97th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at slot 111 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at pick 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
They paid sticker price for Mitchell Evans in pick No. 140, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Nelson at No. 192. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Robert Longerbeam
Value with a capital V on Robert Longerbeam in the 230th overall pick, a genuine coup. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick236 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at the 236th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at pick 241 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
