Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Williams. Final grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Nohl Williams at the 182nd pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The cost of the Jackson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Emeka Egbuka graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to slot 70, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 97th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 126th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at No. 139. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 142, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick182 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Taking Nohl Williams in pick 182 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick187 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in Round 6, Pick 11, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They jumped the gun on Cam Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
