Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Johnson fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 39 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 97. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Lampkin has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 28th pick they get an island corner, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
A real head-scratcher, Willie Lampkin in No. 138 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Chandler Rivers
Value said wait; Chandler Rivers in Round 5, Pick 26 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
