Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Vikings this weekend: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jacory Croskey-Merritt at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 63 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Will Johnson
Circle this one: Will Johnson at No. 34 is a fall that decides a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick35 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick 35 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slid further than he should have, and the 62nd pick is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Jackson in slot 70. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at pick No. 72 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Nothing to complain about; Carson Schwesinger went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Fair-plus on Cameron Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in slot 95 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
No drama and no debate, Jared Wilson went about where he belonged in the 99th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in the 112th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Phillips in No. 120. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick No. 122 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Nice patience on Smael Mondon Jr., who had no business lasting to pick 124. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick125 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. is a better player than No. 125 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick129 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A reach on Malachi Moore in Round 4, Pick 27; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They did well to land Cobee Bryant in the 130th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick139 Rnd5 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at pick No. 139 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
By-the-book stuff, Mitchell Evans at slot 145 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick162 Rnd5 James Burnip
A straight-up fair deal on James Burnip at the 162nd pick, value and slot in agreement. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
They talked themselves into Ethan Downs at pick 257, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
