Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Vikings let Pritchett fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

The Vikings lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pritchett. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick38 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Nice patience on Bo Nix, who had no business lasting to No. 38. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at Round 2, Pick 10 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick108 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher slipping to pick No. 108 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Washington at pick 130. It fills a real need, too.
Pick144 Rnd5 Beaux Limmer
They took Beaux Limmer at par in the 144th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at slot 148 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A tidy little value on Keith Randolph Jr. in the 160th pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A quiet steal in pick 179: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 184 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick230 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa in the 230th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
