Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesD FutureA+
Grand theft in pick 140: the Vikings steal Wilson and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Jared Wilson slide 34 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Taking Zy Alexander in No. 97 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 140th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slid further than he should have, and the 161st pick is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick183 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Value with a capital V on Connor Colby in pick No. 183, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
The board fumbled Quincy Riley all the way to pick 201, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
