Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Golden: B.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Matthew Golden fell into pick 38.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting TeSlaa proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
They will replay Matthew Golden at slot 38 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick77 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Carson Schwesinger at pick 77. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
They barely believed it either: Elijah Arroyo still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick106 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Fair-plus on Cam Skattebo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
They jumped the gun on Jackson Slater, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Value with a capital V on Brashard Smith in No. 144, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Round 6, Pick 11 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick217 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 217th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick220 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They paid up for Isaac TeSlaa at pick No. 220 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Good price on Bilhal Kone in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor itch, scratched.
