Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The Vikings let Wease fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Theo Wease slide 35 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

If Smith pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in pick No. 44 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in slot 127 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick138 Rnd5 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 5, Pick 2 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick162 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Khyree Jackson at pick 162 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slipping to No. 165 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease in the 168th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 179th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tim Smith
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tim Smith this early at pick No. 233. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
