Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Daevin Hobbs, 27 picks early at pick 226.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. That is a quarterback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a lead back with juice. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 42nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick73 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Colton Hood in slot 73 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sam Leavitt at the 97th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
No drama and no debate, Iapani Laloulu went about where he belonged in pick No. 161. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trebor Pena
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trebor Pena. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick226 Rnd7 Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick241 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
Amare Campbell at No. 241 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
