Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Henderson: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 60 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 1.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Desmond King II deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Nick Emmanwori and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 97th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick138 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at No. 138 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 159, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick241 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
A tight end of that caliber at the 241st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
