Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Horton. Final grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tory Horton slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at the 139th overall pick. Highway robbery. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Cooper pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
Shavon Revel Jr. at the 24th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at No. 97. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tory Horton
Steal is underselling it; Tory Horton at pick No. 139 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in the 187th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
