Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Simon should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Cody Simon sat on the board until the 161st overall pick, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Job largely done: safety settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They read the board right and Devin Neal was the payoff at the 97th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 6 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at slot 140 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in No. 161, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick214 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in pick 214 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick218 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 218th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Circle this one: Jordan Hancock at No. 224 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
