Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 97: the Vikings steal Lawson and grade out a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Deontae Lawson at the 97th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes. The back end got a real overhaul.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 15th pick they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Good price on Jake Slaughter in pick No. 46, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick80 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at Round 3, Pick 33 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
They read the board right and Jaden Greathouse was the payoff at No. 161. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cam Calhoun
They paid sticker price for Cam Calhoun in pick 199, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
No edge and no loss on Tristan Leigh in slot 231; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Joenel Aguero
They took Joenel Aguero at par in the 243rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
