Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Vikings.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Luke Lachey; the Vikings did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at the 173rd overall pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Phillips makes the weekend a net positive.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than pick 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Charles Grant
No edge and no loss on Charles Grant in pick No. 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tai Felton
They took Tai Felton at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Skattebo in the 109th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Phillips reach Round 4, Pick 24 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish slid further than he should have, and slot 132 is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
A premium they did not need to pay, O'Donnell Fortune a notch or two before his time. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick169 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 169, where Bhayshul Tuten graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 170th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick173 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
They talked themselves into Luke Lachey at the 173rd pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick177 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They read the board right and RJ Harvey was the payoff at No. 177. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Raheim Sanders at pick 187. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in slot 206 with a little surplus value in Jay Higgins. A minor itch, scratched.
