Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC- FutureB
Larceny in the 148th pick lands the Vikings a B-, Davis and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ray Davis at the Round 5 slot is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Travis pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In slot 31 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick61 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A clean, defensible pick in No. 61 with a little surplus value in T'Vondre Sweat. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
A reach on Byron Murphy II in the 63rd pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick108 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roman Wilson at pick 108. It fills a real need, too.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
They paid up for Jordan Travis at Round 4, Pick 28 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ray Davis
Steal is underselling it; Ray Davis at pick No. 148 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick156 Rnd5 Justin Walley
They paid a round early for Justin Walley in the 156th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick163 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
A conviction pick on Josh Proctor at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick164 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at Round 5, Pick 28 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Circle this one: Moose Muhammad III at slot 177 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
The board had cheaper options than Michael Barrett at No. 179, and it noticed. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at the 230th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
