Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
The Vikings worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

Spending an early pick on cornerback with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Zinter.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 16th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A straight-up fair deal on J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 42, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in No. 81 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick109 Rnd4 Renardo Green
No drama and no debate, Renardo Green went about where he belonged in slot 109. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 119th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A curious use of pick 130. Edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Josh Newton did not.
Pick156 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 20, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick179 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the running back. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 190. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
