Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B- to prove it.

The war room fell hard for Dont'e Thornton Jr., and it showed at pick No. 142: 41 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Giddens at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at pick 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick70 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in slot 70 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
They took Kevin Winston Jr. at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A quiet steal in the 126th overall pick: Cam Skattebo for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Good price on Mello Dotson in No. 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at Round 5, Pick 4. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick182 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DJ Giddens at No. 187. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 194th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
