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

The tape said wait; the Vikings did not. Hayden Conner went at slot 187, a good 80 picks before the board was ready.

The Skattebo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 24th pick they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick134 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord slipping to the 134th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Cam Skattebo
Somehow Cam Skattebo was still sitting there in pick 139, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They let O'Donnell Fortune come to them and pounced at pick No. 161. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
A tidy little value on Tommi Hill in Round 5, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick165 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jake Briningstool. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
