Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Tyler Baron at the 139th overall pick is 23 spots clear of where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Skattebo pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get an island corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 33, where Cam Skattebo graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in pick 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They went early on Tyler Cooper in slot 187, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
