Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 3: the Vikings steal Thornton Jr. and grade out a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dont'e Thornton Jr. got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at slot 221.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A slide stopped in pick 34, with Walter Nolen worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
The board fumbled Maxwell Hairston all the way to the 97th pick, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick104 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in No. 104, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick134 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Circle this one: Lathan Ransom at the 134th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick140 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A running back of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Somehow Hollin Pierce was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 16, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
No edge and no loss on RJ Harvey in slot 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick221 Rnd7 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick No. 221, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248 Rnd7 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in pick 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
