Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
The Vikings won the night they stopped Barner from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. AJ Barner at slot 230 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Job largely done: quarterback settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 20th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Nubin at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick52 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and J.J. McCarthy at pick 52 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in Round 4, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
They let Tyrice Knight come to them and pounced at slot 130. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick148 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
Circle this one: Johnny Dixon at No. 148 is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in the 160th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
The board had Braelon Allen higher than pick No. 166, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 179th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 AJ Barner
They will replay AJ Barner at pick 230 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick233 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They barely believed it either: Kenny Logan Jr. still on the board at slot 233. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
