Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B.

Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Vikings will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 32nd pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick No. 64 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kobe King
A tidy bit of business in the 139th overall pick, where Kobe King graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 11 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Kobe Hudson in pick 228 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
