Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Vikings looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Joe Milton III at the 109th overall pick regardless, 62 picks early.

The Dixon value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 11th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 10, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A slide stopped in slot 130, with Kris Abrams-Draine worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick156 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
The board fumbled Johnny Dixon all the way to pick No. 156, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick166 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 166th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in the 179th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at No. 190 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
