Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Henderson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at the Round 5 slot. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They will need Stewart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 31 they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in slot 97 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the 140th pick, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
