Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Vikings lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Vikings lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Rattler proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, wide receiver very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 20 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in pick No. 42, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick55 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
A reach on Spencer Rattler in slot 55; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 77th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
They let Calen Bullock come to them and pounced at the 90th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick156 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in Round 5, Pick 20 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Value with a capital V on Jarrian Jones in No. 166, a genuine coup. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick176 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at No. 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in pick 187. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
