Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Ollie Gordon II at the 140th pick will need to, sitting 35 spots clear of his grade.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
Good price on Kenneth Grant in Round 1, Pick 24, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
A tidy little value on Sebastian Castro in No. 97, a step better than break-even. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at slot 140 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
They reached a country mile for Quincy Riley at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
