Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Vikings let Scott fall and pounced. Final grade: C.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Keionte Scott, the Round 3 slot, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

If Arvell Reese and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a three-down second-level presence at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 49th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
No drama and no debate, Jadarian Price went about where he belonged in pick No. 58. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in slot 84 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Taking Keionte Scott in pick 97 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lander Barton
By-the-book stuff, Lander Barton at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at the 194th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick234 Rnd7 London Humphreys
No edge and no loss on London Humphreys in No. 234; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
They paid sticker price for Jordan Hall in pick No. 240, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
They liked Roman Hemby enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 254. The roster fit checks out.
