Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They are betting Travis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. However the rest shakes out, Berger at that price is a win they earned. Will Hernandez gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
In pick No. 27 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
They went early on Byron Murphy II in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kalen King
Nice patience on Kalen King, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 18. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo in No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in slot 97 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 108 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
A wild overpay on Braelon Allen in the 130th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick137 Rnd5 Drake Nugent
The board had cheaper options than Drake Nugent at the 137th overall pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A tidy little value on Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 5, Pick 24, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade in slot 166 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick172 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Value with a capital V on Edefuan Ulofoshio in No. 172, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick225 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 225th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
They will replay Jalen Berger at the 230th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
