Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Vikings this weekend: B+.

The Jordan Hall pick is the one that will follow the Vikings into the fall. They took him 47 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Landing Chambliss that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. With edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 31 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Sonny Styles adds a linebacker and leaves edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots untouched.
Pick79 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy in No. 79 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
A big swing on Jadarian Price at the 97th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in Round 5, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trinidad Chambliss
Somehow Trinidad Chambliss was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
They paid sticker price for Robert Spears-Jennings in pick No. 231, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in pick 243 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
