Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings let Walker fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Jalon Walker slides to pick No. 77, you do not overthink it, and the Vikings did not.

The Conner pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at Round 2, Pick 6 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick77 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in No. 77 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the safety. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Skattebo in the 106th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 139 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Bhayshul Tuten
They paid a round early for Bhayshul Tuten in slot 144, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the 187th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at pick No. 217 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They liked Isaac TeSlaa enough to skip the value, taking him in the 220th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
