Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Martinez: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Damien Martinez, No. 187, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If Jones Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Emery Jones Jr. in pick 97, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They paid sticker price for Jordan Phillips in slot 102, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. is a better player than the 130th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kyle McCord
Taking Kyle McCord in pick No. 139 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in Round 6, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick196 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues slid further than he should have, and the 196th pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hayden Conner. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
