Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Vikings never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Walker. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 32nd pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: TreVeyon Henderson for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 32, with Deone Walker worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in pick No. 97 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick139 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A straight-up fair deal on Malachi Moore at slot 139, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 Willie Lampkin
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Willie Lampkin in the 187th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
