Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall F
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureF
Moore is the plan now, and the Vikings grade out a F.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Darius Taylor in No. 234, a good 53 spots before the room expected him.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever Dante Moore becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They banked enough surplus on Perich to cover a lot of smaller sins. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with interior defensive lineman still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Dante Moore
In pick No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Mark Fletcher Jr.
A slide stopped in slot 49, with Mark Fletcher Jr. worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Anthony Smith
Anthony Smith in No. 76 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ian Strong
A straight-up fair deal on Ian Strong at Round 3, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick100 Rnd3 Terrance Carter Jr.
They took Terrance Carter Jr. at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Koi Perich
Koi Perich in the 161st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick194 Rnd6 Niki Prongos
The board had cheaper options than Niki Prongos at slot 194, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Malachi Breland
No drama and no debate, Malachi Breland went about where he belonged in the 199th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 Darius Taylor
Value said wait; Darius Taylor in No. 234 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick236 Rnd7 Noah Carter
They left a pile of value on the table to take Noah Carter this early at the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 TJ Metcalf
A safety of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 24 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah at pick 254 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick257 Rnd7 DJ Vonnahme
A premium they did not need to pay, DJ Vonnahme a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
