Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Wilson: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jared Wilson tumbling to the Vikings in Round 5, Pick 1 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 24 they get a load in the middle. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Skattebo at pick 97, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at Round 5, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
