Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Horton fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Tory Horton slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at the 140th overall pick. Highway robbery. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Milum reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Wyatt Milum
In the 24th pick they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97 Rnd3 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick No. 97 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tory Horton
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ben Sauls
Fair-plus on Ben Sauls, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
