Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Ransom fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lathan Ransom, slot 139, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In slot 27 they get a disruptive interior force. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams in the 97th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Taking Chimere Dike in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Will Howard
The board fumbled Will Howard all the way to the 136th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at Round 5, Pick 1 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at pick No. 183 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at No. 187 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at pick 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Somehow Dont'e Thornton Jr. was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 34, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
