Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Hurst: B.

Call it larceny. Ted Hurst sat on the board until slot 196, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice.

If Washington Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick No. 18 they get a green-dot type in the middle, and a steal at that.
Pick82 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Nice patience on Dontay Corleone, who had no business lasting to No. 82. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick91 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 91 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Sam Roush is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Good price on Bryce Lance in the 126th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick163 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A reach for Matt Gulbin in pick 163; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick196 Rnd6 Ted Hurst
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ted Hurst in Round 6, Pick 15, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
They robbed the room for Thaddeus Dixon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jeff Caldwell at the 235th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in Round 7, Pick 28 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
