Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Crenshaw-Dickson. Final grade: B+.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson fell into Round 7, Pick 19. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They will need Conner to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Vikings indulged a want in Burke while a need in quarterback and edge rusher stayed open.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than the 37th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick38 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Colston Loveland for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in slot 59 with a little surplus value in Jayden Higgins. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick68 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 68 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick69 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 5 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 70 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 122nd pick on Denzel Burke with quarterback and edge rusher unsolved.
Pick123 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Value said wait; Malachi Moore in pick No. 123 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
They took Jarquez Hunter at par in No. 187, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick208 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
Somehow JJ Pegues was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Taking Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in pick No. 235 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick244 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Nothing to complain about; Isaac TeSlaa went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
