Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings won the night they stopped Tuten from sliding. Grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Bhayshul Tuten got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at No. 180. No fireworks, but a solid B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at No. 37 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Fair-plus on Savion Williams, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
A tidy little value on Mello Dotson in pick 139, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick143 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in the 143rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 4 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Dont'e Thornton Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jay Higgins in the 215th overall pick, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222 Rnd7 Donovan Edwards
The board fumbled Donovan Edwards all the way to Round 7, Pick 6, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
