Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Thomas Fidone II at Round 6, Pick 28 is 47 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Starks pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In No. 31 they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Taking Malaki Starks in the 66th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Nice patience on Chris Paul Jr., who had no business lasting to pick No. 97. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra in pick 149 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick204 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in slot 204 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
