Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Abney II: B.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Keith Abney II fell into the Round 3 slot. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The back end got a real overhaul.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 15 they get a rangy last line of defense, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 2, Pick 14 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Max Klare
The board fumbled Max Klare all the way to the 80th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
They took Darius Taylor at par in slot 161, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dane Key
The board had Dane Key higher than pick No. 199, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
They paid sticker price for Tristan Leigh in the 231st pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Smith Snowden
Smith Snowden in No. 243 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
