Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings won the night they stopped Laumea from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Sataoa Laumea got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at No. 230. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Thomas pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Value with a capital V on Marvin Harrison Jr. in No. 11, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Brock Bowers
They will replay Brock Bowers at the 42nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in slot 108 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A tidy bit of business in the 130th overall pick, where Darius Robinson graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
They went early on Nathan Thomas in pick No. 160, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
A safety of that caliber at pick 166 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Taking Justin Rogers in Round 6, Pick 4 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick230 Rnd7 Sataoa Laumea
Circle this one: Sataoa Laumea at pick 230 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
