Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Henderson: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. TreVeyon Henderson had no business being available in the 138th pick, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 97 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They robbed the room for Omarr Norman-Lott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 101st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 118 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick138 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at the 138th pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in Round 5, Pick 22 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
No drama and no debate, DJ Campbell went about where he belonged in pick No. 199. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
