Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB FutureA+
Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 28: the Vikings steal Ward and grade out a A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cam Ward tumbling to the Vikings in slot 167 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick89 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in the 89th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
They barely believed it either: Jahdae Barron still on the board at pick 97. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 140 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 161st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Cam Ward
You do not let a quarterback like Cam Ward reach Round 5, Pick 28 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
