Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Lew: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Connor Lew tumbling to the Vikings in Round 3, Pick 33 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They are betting Hemby proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 18 they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman in the 49th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick82 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
Nice patience on Domonique Orange, who had no business lasting to the 82nd overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Taking Connor Lew in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick161 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
They read the board right and Davison Igbinosun was the payoff at pick 161. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at Round 6, Pick 15, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 London Humphreys
London Humphreys in No. 234 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
A wild overpay on Roman Hemby in pick No. 240, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
