Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Sampson: B+.

The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

The Sampson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Wilson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
The board had Nick Emmanwori higher than pick No. 33, and the safety fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A slide stopped in the 94th pick, with Chris Paul Jr. worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in slot 97 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Darien Porter
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Darien Porter in pick 100, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick103 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
Somehow Isaiah Bond was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 2, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Steal is underselling it; O'Donnell Fortune at pick 140 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick161 Rnd5 Vernon Broughton
They will replay Vernon Broughton at pick No. 161 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
