Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 161: the Vikings steal Pierce and grade out a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Hollin Pierce tumbling to the Vikings in the 161st pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach the 140th overall pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at pick 161 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
