Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 160 lands the Vikings a B, Gabriel and all.

When a board-topper like Dillon Gabriel slides to pick No. 160, you do not overthink it, and the Vikings did not. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the 24th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Tez Johnson at No. 97, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen in pick 139 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in the 160th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
