Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Vikings started one anyway for Ty Robinson, 22 picks ahead of schedule. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Nothing to complain about; Derrick Harmon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A reach on Jared Wilson in No. 88; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in pick No. 97 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 139th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson in the 142nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They did well to land Quincy Riley in pick 182, just ahead of his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick187 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A clean, defensible pick in the 187th overall pick with a little surplus value in Connor Colby. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
