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

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dominic Zvada, 70 picks early at the 234th overall pick. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Christen Miller
In the 31st pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A straight-up fair deal on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren at No. 49, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at Round 2, Pick 31 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick64 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Cooper Jr. at the 64th overall pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick66 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick 66 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in slot 97 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Value with a capital V on Jalon Kilgore in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey at Round 5, Pick 2 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
They liked Sawyer Robertson enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 194. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dominic Zvada in the 234th overall pick, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
