Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B.

The Vikings put a flag in the ground for Jason Henderson, 64 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Lew that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
A clean, defensible pick in slot 49 with a little surplus value in Dillon Thieneman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick82 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in pick No. 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 DeMonte Capehart
They talked themselves into DeMonte Capehart at pick 97, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson at No. 162 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Barion Brown
Barion Brown at the 195th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick234 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They took Riley Mahlman at par in pick No. 234, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at No. 240 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
