Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B-.

The Raheim Sanders selection is the head-turner. The Vikings reached 32 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Harmon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 15, with Derrick Harmon worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They reached into another round for Jake Majors, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Brashard Smith
They went early on Brashard Smith in the 97th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Raheim Sanders. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ollie Gordon II
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ollie Gordon II this early at pick 140. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick161 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
By-the-book stuff, RJ Harvey at the 161st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
