Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 97th pick lands the Vikings a B, Orange and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Domonique Orange had no business being available in pick No. 97, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will need Coogan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 20 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A quiet steal in pick 49: Dillon Thieneman for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A tidy bit of business in the 82nd overall pick, where Jacob Rodriguez graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at No. 112 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Nice patience on Zxavian Harris, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the 180th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
Ephesians Prysock at slot 196 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
Value with a capital V on Zavion Thomas in Round 7, Pick 18, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
