Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

The Vikings bet big and early on Ben Yurosek, 63 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Grant.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
The board had Kenneth Grant higher than Round 2, Pick 1, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A tidy little value on Charles Grant in pick 94, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Nothing to complain about; Savion Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Brashard Smith at No. 139, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jason Marshall Jr. in the 179th overall pick, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick187 Rnd6 Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam at pick No. 187 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ben Yurosek
A real head-scratcher, Ben Yurosek in Round 6, Pick 40 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
