Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Fortune: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. O'Donnell Fortune had no business being available in the 161st overall pick, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton slipping to the 49th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick81 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in slot 81 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in pick 97: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick118 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 118th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick140 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings at No. 140 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick154 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
They barely believed it either: O'Donnell Fortune still on the board at pick No. 161. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They will replay JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 17 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
