Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jordan Hall at No. 161, a reach of 83 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lew. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 18 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Nice patience on Dillon Thieneman, who had no business lasting to the 53rd pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew at No. 82 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson slid further than he should have, and slot 97 is lovely value for the running back. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Xavier Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Scott at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick159 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Aaron Anderson in pick 159. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jordan Hall
They reached into another round for Jordan Hall, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at Round 6, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jack Velling
A quiet steal in pick 234: Jack Velling for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
They did well to land Ricardo Hallman in slot 240, just ahead of his grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
