Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Vikings turned the phones into found money: B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They are betting Sweat proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

However the rest shakes out, Ulofoshio at that price is a win they earned. Hjalte Froholdt gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Good work on the whole, with safety the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at slot 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the 42nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the 108th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Will Shipley
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze at pick 160 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They read the board right and Edefuan Ulofoshio was the payoff at pick No. 166. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick179 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They paid sticker price for Aki Ogunbiyi in Round 6, Pick 4, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Williams at pick 188, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 230th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
