Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings won the night they stopped Lachey from sliding. Grade: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Luke Lachey slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at Round 7, Pick 3. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Pegues proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
No edge and no loss on Omarion Hampton in slot 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Value with a capital V on Andrew Mukuba in the 97th overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
They did well to land Jaylin Noel in Round 3, Pick 35, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in pick No. 105 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in No. 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick154 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 154th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
The board had Bhayshul Tuten higher than pick 160, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They reached a country mile for Nick Martin at No. 246, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
