Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Vikings never got to the one that mattered most.

Lundt falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Job largely done: safety settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 97 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in No. 139 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
The board had Chase Lundt higher than pick No. 187, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
