Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Bowman Jr.: B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Billy Bowman Jr., the No. 112 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 139. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Joyner reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than Round 3, Pick 4, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wilson at slot 97, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick143 Rnd5 Jah Joyner
Jah Joyner in No. 143 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick187 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Clay Webb. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
