Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Carter: A-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Vikings, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A- to cap it.

Landing Carter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, Logan Wilson leading the way.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Jonah Savaiinaea and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jonah Savaiinaea
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in No. 63 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick113 Rnd4 J. Michael Sturdivant
They robbed the room for J. Michael Sturdivant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick125 Rnd4 DJ Giddens
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and DJ Giddens at the 125th pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at slot 169 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They did well to land Thor Griffith in pick 195, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick201 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in pick No. 201 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick211 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II at the Round 7 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
