Draft Grade — Vikings

The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Haulcy: D-.

The phones were a trap the Vikings kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

They are betting Trigg proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Haulcy steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 18 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the 49th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick60 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
Fair-plus on Antonio Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at the 74th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg in slot 97 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
By-the-book stuff, Skyler Gill-Howard at No. 126 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III in the 161st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jerry Wilson
Jerry Wilson at Round 6, Pick 15 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick234 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
Ricardo Hallman in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
