Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

TradesA+
FutureB-
The Vikings worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Ivey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Hampton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the 29th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick39
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos in slot 39 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick49
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at No. 51 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at the 65th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69
Rnd3
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in pick No. 69 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick72
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
Value with a capital V on Maxwell Hairston in the 72nd overall pick, a genuine coup. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They reached into another round for Jared Wilson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83
Rnd3
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Phillips at slot 103, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109
Rnd4
Charles Grant
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 109th pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116
Rnd4
Will Howard
The board had Will Howard higher than No. 116, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jarquez Hunter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarquez Hunter at pick 203. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick No. 206 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick218
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in pick 218 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick224
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Craig Woodson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
No edge and no loss on Cam Jackson in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick242
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in slot 242 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
A quiet steal in No. 250: Isaac TeSlaa for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick256
Rnd7
Dante Trader Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 40, with Dante Trader Jr. worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
