Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Vikings.

The Vikings put a flag in the ground for Reed Harris, 24 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Chambliss falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 3 of 5, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Kewan Lacy
In No. 32 they get a lead back with juice, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss in the 64th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Reed Harris
Reed Harris at pick No. 76 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick96 Rnd3 Princewill Umanmielen
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Princewill Umanmielen. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156 Rnd5 Elijah Paige
They reached a country mile for Elijah Paige at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick158 Rnd5 Brody Foley
They took Brody Foley at par in slot 158, which is nothing to complain about. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jayden Virgin-Morgan
Jayden Virgin-Morgan at the 169th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not a spot anyone had flagged, which makes it a head-scratcher.
