Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Vikings bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Vikings bet big and early on Tyren Montgomery, 37 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. The Love pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 49 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A conviction pick on Jacob Rodriguez at Round 3, Pick 18 that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at pick 95 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Parker Brailsford
They reached into another round for Parker Brailsford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick105 Rnd4 Caden Curry
They took Caden Curry at par in pick No. 105, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyren Montgomery
Tyren Montgomery in the 131st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar at Round 5, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
A tidy little value on Chase Roberts in No. 161, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A wild overpay on Trey Zuhn III in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
