Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

Every other box got a look, but safety did not. The Vikings will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The cost of the Randolph Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Ulofoshio pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
They took Jer'Zhan Newton at par in Round 1, Pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in pick 42 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 108 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
They reached a country mile for Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 148th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 160th overall pick is the proof. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, LaDarius Henderson in pick No. 165. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at slot 179 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
