Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Vikings reached some 63 spots for Jordan Hall, and value like that does not grow back. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lew. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th pick they get a featured back, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Michael Taaffe
Circle this one: Michael Taaffe at the 82nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Lew
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Connor Lew in pick No. 97, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick162 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun is a better player than No. 162 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at slot 195 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Lawson Luckie
Nice patience on Lawson Luckie, who had no business lasting to the 234th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at the 240th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
