Draft Grade — Vikings

FutureB-
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Vikings spent real capital to be 63 picks early on Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and the board is going to hold them to it.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Will Johnson
Somehow Will Johnson was still sitting there in slot 34, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick35
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 35th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at pick 62. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick70
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 3, Pick 6 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick72
Rnd3
Jack Bech
Fair-plus on Jack Bech, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They did well to land Carson Schwesinger in the 74th pick, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
A tidy little value on Cameron Williams in the 76th overall pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Taking Darien Porter in No. 95 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick99
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
They paid sticker price for Jared Wilson in the 99th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
Good price on Xavier Restrepo in Round 4, Pick 8, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick No. 112 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Value with a capital V on Jordan Phillips in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
They left a pile of value on the table to take Luke Kandra this early at pick 122. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 124 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick125
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
Nice patience on Billy Bowman Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 23. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at slot 129 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130
Rnd4
Cobee Bryant
Nothing to complain about; Cobee Bryant went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick139
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at No. 139 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in pick 145 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
James Burnip
A straight-up fair deal on James Burnip at the 162nd pick, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick219
Rnd7
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
They talked themselves into Jacory Croskey-Merritt at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in the 257th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
