Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B-.

The Vikings went off the board in a big way for Brandon Baker, 79 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Cole pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Brandon Baker
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Justin Scott
Somehow Justin Scott was still sitting there in pick No. 62, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Chris Cole
Chris Cole in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick94 Rnd3 Mario Craver
They paid sticker price for Mario Craver in pick 94, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Isaac Brown
They robbed the room for Isaac Brown here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Josh Hoover
Josh Hoover in slot 163 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 LJ Martin
They will replay LJ Martin at pick No. 167 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick193 Rnd6 Eli Bowen
Eli Bowen at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick202 Rnd6 Kemari Copeland
The board fumbled Kemari Copeland all the way to No. 202, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick213 Rnd6 Blake Frazier
Circle this one: Blake Frazier at the 213th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick231 Rnd7 Isaiah Sategna III
Taking Isaiah Sategna III in slot 231 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
