Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B.

The Vikings treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending No. 220 on Hayden Conner a full 45 spots early.

They banked enough surplus on Lane to cover a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Job largely done: safety settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A tidy bit of business in the 38th overall pick, where Kenneth Grant graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba is a better player than pick No. 97 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They did well to land Cam Skattebo in Round 4, Pick 4, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane in pick 139 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Logan Brown
A straight-up fair deal on Logan Brown at the 144th pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaydon Blue in No. 187. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slipping to the 217th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick238 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ja'Quinden Jackson at the 238th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
