Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Arroyo. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Elijah Arroyo, the No. 74 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 141. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant at slot 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jack Bech
The board fumbled Jack Bech all the way to Round 3, Pick 33, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 103rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
A quiet steal in No. 120: Brashard Smith for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 139 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141 Rnd5 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in pick 141 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick167 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at the 167th pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick178 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at slot 178 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
They paid sticker price for Luke Lachey in Round 6, Pick 12, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
