Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Thomas should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B+.

Somebody in No. 96 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Vikings sat still while Azareye'h Thomas, the No. 57 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They will need Cook to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 31 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 32nd pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No edge and no loss on Jared Wilson in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at No. 96 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick109 Rnd4 Tai Felton
They let Tai Felton come to them and pounced at slot 109. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing O'Donnell Fortune in the 161st overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick164 Rnd5 James Burnip
James Burnip in Round 5, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They liked Jack Nelson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 165. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
They paid a round early for Jack Kiser in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169 Rnd5 CJ West
CJ West at pick 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
No drama and no debate, Jarquez Hunter went about where he belonged in No. 187. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in pick No. 195 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick196 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at slot 196 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at the 206th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brady Cook
Brady Cook in Round 7, Pick 41 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
