Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Gabriel. Final grade: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dillon Gabriel, the No. 128 name on the board, stolen at pick 161. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They are betting Lampkin proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In No. 24 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. More want than need.
Pick97 Rnd3 Devin Neal
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Devin Neal for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick140 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at pick No. 140 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dillon Gabriel
Circle this one: Dillon Gabriel at the 161st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
