Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB+ FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Alexander: B.

When a board-topper like Bear Alexander slides to pick 97, you do not overthink it, and the Vikings did not.

For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Ponton left real value on the table behind him. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Yhonzae Pierre
In the 18th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 LaNorris Sellers
Good price on LaNorris Sellers in pick No. 51, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick82 Rnd3 Bray Hubbard
Nice patience on Bray Hubbard, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 18. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick97 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
They will replay Bear Alexander at No. 97 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Antwan Raymond
Antwan Raymond in slot 119 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jacob Ponton
They reached into another round for Jacob Ponton, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Coen Echols
A tidy bit of business in the 194th overall pick, where Coen Echols graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Chris Marshall
They paid sticker price for Chris Marshall in pick 240, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
