DrButtz DRAFTING FOR THEVikings

Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB+
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Mohamed Kamara at the 108th overall pick, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
The Harden value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In pick No. 11 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick50
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
They jumped the gun on Christian Haynes, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick157
Rnd5
Nehemiah Pritchett
A slide stopped in the 157th pick, with Nehemiah Pritchett worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick177
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
No drama and no debate, Fabien Lovett went about where he belonged in No. 177. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230
Rnd7
Myles Harden
Myles Harden at Round 7, Pick 10 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
