Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Henderson should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how TreVeyon Henderson got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at the 138th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the 24th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in No. 97 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick138 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in slot 159, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
