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

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Raheim Sanders got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at slot 215. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

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

They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 37th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 4; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They did well to land Brashard Smith in pick 139, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Etienne at pick No. 143, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 187 with a little surplus value in Dont'e Thornton Jr.. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
They reached into another round for Isaac TeSlaa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick215 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at slot 215 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jason Marshall Jr.
They barely believed it either: Jason Marshall Jr. still on the board at Round 7, Pick 6. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
