Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Vikings robbed the room for Judkins. Final grade: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Quinshon Judkins, the No. 70 name on the board, stolen at pick 126.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

The cost of the Ransom reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In No. 31 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick89 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the 89th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at pick 95 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 101st pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in Round 4, Pick 25 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
You do not let a cornerback like Mello Dotson reach slot 161 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick198 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Circle this one: Chase Lundt at pick No. 198 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike in No. 246 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
The board had cheaper options than Nohl Williams at the 256th pick, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
