Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Travis lower, and that gap is the story.

However the rest shakes out, Simpson at that price is a win they earned.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Chris Braswell and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in slot 56 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Fair-plus on Mike Sainristil, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in pick No. 99 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
The board had Jacob Cowing higher than the 108th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at the 130th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 148 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at No. 160 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick166 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson in pick No. 166 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten slid further than he should have, and the 179th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Cephus at Round 7, Pick 10 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
