Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Vikings let Lovett fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Little to argue with here, and the A- says so.

That Lovett pick is the receipt they will wave around later. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, with Kool-Aid McKinstry leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In No. 17 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
They read the board right and Troy Fautanu was the payoff at the 42nd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79 Rnd3 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at Round 3, Pick 15 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A slide stopped in pick 108, with Zak Zinter worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nice patience on Nehemiah Pritchett, who had no business lasting to pick No. 148. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 160th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick164 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 164 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Nothing to complain about; Malik Washington went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at No. 179 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at slot 210 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
They will replay Dominic Lovett at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
