Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Smith. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Brashard Smith tumbling to the Vikings in the Round 5 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Stackhouse left real value on the table behind him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: safety settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 24th pick they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick161 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
They will replay Brashard Smith at pick No. 164 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick165 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
Circle this one: Mello Dotson at No. 165 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in slot 168 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick 187 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 16 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jay Higgins. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick216 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in pick No. 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Torricelli Simpkins III in slot 255, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
