Draft Grade — Vikings

ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Crownover: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Dametrious Crownover slide 105 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every board in the league had Davis lower, and that gap is the story. The York pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at Round 2, Pick 17 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Taurean York
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 82 on Taurean York with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots unsolved.
Pick97 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Michael Taaffe at the 97th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at pick 161 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Harrison Wallace III
Harrison Wallace III in the 194th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Kaelon Black
Somehow Kaelon Black was still sitting there in slot 234, and they pounced on premier running back value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Dametrious Crownover
They barely believed it either: Dametrious Crownover still on the board at No. 240. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
