Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Majors: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Majors tumbling to the Vikings in Round 5, Pick 25 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Dellinger proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 28 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
By-the-book stuff, Maxwell Hairston at the 97th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick140 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 140th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They will replay Jake Majors at pick No. 163 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick242 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
This one needs a full-page explanation: Garrett Dellinger in Round 7, Pick 28, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
