Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dante Moore got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at No. 158. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Adebawore pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
Nice patience on Matayo Uiagalelei, who had no business lasting to the 30th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Terry Moore
Terry Moore at the 62nd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick70 Rnd3 Ahmad Hardy
Ahmad Hardy in pick 70 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick94 Rnd3 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick158 Rnd5 Dante Moore
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Dante Moore in Round 5, Pick 19, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nyck Harbor
Steal is underselling it; Nyck Harbor at pick No. 161 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason Curtis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason Curtis. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 John Mateer
This one needs a full-page explanation: John Mateer in the 183rd overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick212 Rnd6 Leroy Harris III
Leroy Harris III in No. 212 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Audavion Collins
They robbed the room for Audavion Collins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
