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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Vikings never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

On value alone, Hall makes the weekend a net positive. The Jatta reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 18 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 49th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Devin Moore
Devin Moore at No. 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Sam Roush
A tidy bit of business in the 97th pick, where Sam Roush graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. is a better player than pick No. 163 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick196 Rnd6 Dalton Johnson
No drama and no debate, Dalton Johnson went about where he belonged in pick 196. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick234 Rnd7 Isaiah Jatta
They paid up for Isaiah Jatta at No. 234 when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall in Round 7, Pick 24 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
