Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 228: the Vikings steal Ransaw and grade out a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Vikings came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

That Ransaw pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Reaching for Slater left real value on the table behind him.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nick Emmanwori in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 25, where Aireontae Ersery graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Fair-plus on Deone Walker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at the 95th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick96 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Gunnar Helm at slot 96 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 103 with a little surplus value in Zy Alexander. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A tidy little value on Tez Johnson in the 106th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
A reach on Jackson Slater in slot 139; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick141 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at No. 141 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick167 Rnd5 James Burnip
A reasonable price with a little left over, James Burnip in the Round 5 slot. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
The board had Kyle Williams higher than pick No. 187, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick228 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
They robbed the room for Caleb Ransaw here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A slide stopped in the 241st pick, with Cam Jackson worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at pick 244 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A straight-up fair deal on Teddye Buchanan at pick 245, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
