Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Vikings.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jordan Hall, 31 picks early at the 240th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Haulcy.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 18 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that.
Pick55 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
You do not let a linebacker like Sonny Styles reach the 55th overall pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Julian Neal
Julian Neal in the 97th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at No. 162 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick195 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A big swing on Pat Coogan at slot 195, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
Good price on J. Michael Sturdivant in No. 234, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in the 240th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
