Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB+
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Nobody had Troy Bowles this high, and it is not close. The Vikings reached 43 spots to get him at pick No. 253.
On value alone, Moss makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In pick 2 they get a rangy last line of defense. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In slot 10 they get a potential shutdown corner, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick173
Rnd5
J.Michael Sturdivant
A wild overpay on J.Michael Sturdivant in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick196
Rnd6
Miller Moss
Somehow Miller Moss was still sitting there in pick No. 196, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Troy Bowles
Troy Bowles in No. 253 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
