Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

ValueB
NeedB-
TradesB
FutureB
The Vikings let Wilson fall and pounced. Final grade: B. Call it larceny. Raylen Wilson sat on the board until slot 157, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Endries pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Malik Muhammad
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick57
Rnd2
Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu at pick 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82
Rnd3
Bud Clark
Bud Clark is a better player than Round 3, Pick 18 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jack Endries
Jack Endries in the 89th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97
Rnd3
Gabe Jacas
Fair-plus on Gabe Jacas, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
A clean, defensible pick in the 118th pick with a little surplus value in Oscar Delp. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Darius Taylor
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Taylor. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157
Rnd5
Raylen Wilson
Raylen Wilson at slot 157 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173
Rnd5
Xavier Scott
They read the board right and Xavier Scott was the payoff at No. 173. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick196
Rnd6
J.Michael Sturdivant
They took J.Michael Sturdivant at par in pick No. 196, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick208
Rnd6
Elliot Washington II
They did well to land Elliot Washington II in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231
Rnd7
Rico Flores Jr.
Rico Flores Jr. at pick 231 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
