Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Milum: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Wyatt Milum slide 103 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in Round 3, Pick 33 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick139 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in the 160th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
