Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D-
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Back to the drawing board for the Vikings: D-.

The Vikings put a flag in the ground for Tyreem Powell, 243 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: running back settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Phil Mafah
In pick No. 24 they get a workhorse for the backfield, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tyreem Powell
Tyreem Powell at slot 97 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick139 Rnd5 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyler Loop
Tyler Loop in No. 187 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
