Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Parrish should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Jacob Parrish slide 51 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 30th pick they get a two-high chess piece at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Taking Elijah Arroyo in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
They will replay Isaiah Bond at Round 4, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 132 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Joshua Farmer reach pick No. 139 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Steal is underselling it; Jacob Parrish at No. 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick170 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to the 170th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick173 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
Somehow Bhayshul Tuten was still sitting there in pick 173, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick177 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at pick No. 177 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Willie Lampkin worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, JJ Pegues in slot 206, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
