GRob DRAFTING FOR THEVikings

Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B-. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Vikings walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
Reaching for Alexander left real value on the table behind him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
LT Overton
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the 49th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick82
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
They liked Caleb Tiernan enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 18. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Whit Weeks
Whit Weeks at the 97th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138
Rnd4
Logan Jones
Logan Jones in pick 138 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167
Rnd5
CJ Daniels
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on CJ Daniels. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in No. 212 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in slot 235 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
