Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Kilgore should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Jalon Kilgore slide 96 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 18 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 2, Pick 17 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in the 82nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at No. 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jalon Kilgore
They robbed the room for Jalon Kilgore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick234 Rnd7 Bobby Jamison-Travis
Bobby Jamison-Travis at pick 234 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Taking Kevin Coleman Jr. in slot 235 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick244 Rnd7 Noah Whittington
You do not let a running back like Noah Whittington reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
