Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureA+
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B.

The Vikings bet big and early on J.Michael Sturdivant, 22 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Job largely done: safety settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jake Slaughter
In slot 18 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They took Domonique Orange at par in Round 3, Pick 18, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Amare Campbell
A straight-up fair deal on Amare Campbell at the 97th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick118 Rnd4 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
A reach on Xavier Nwankpa in the 157th pick; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick173 Rnd5 J.Michael Sturdivant
This one needs a full-page explanation: J.Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 173, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kayin Lee
Kayin Lee at slot 196 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jack Velling
Jack Velling in the 208th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick231 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
By-the-book stuff, Ethan O'Connor at the 231st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
