Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 97th overall pick: the Vikings steal Lew and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Connor Lew, the No. 60 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 97.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In slot 18 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caleb Banks in No. 49. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They robbed the room for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Lew
They barely believed it either: Connor Lew still on the board at the 97th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Value with a capital V on Nate Boerkircher in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
They will replay Aamil Wagner at Round 6, Pick 15 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 234 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick240 Rnd7 Zxavian Harris
Steal is underselling it; Zxavian Harris at pick 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
