Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C-
ValueB NeedB- TradesF FutureB
The Vikings let Stowers fall into their laps, and walked away with a C-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Eli Stowers, the No. 52 name on the board, stolen at the 83rd pick. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
They let Sonny Styles come to them and pounced at pick 30. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick49 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at the 49th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick62 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
They read the board right and A.J. Haulcy was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 30. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick83 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 83rd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Logan Jones
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Logan Jones graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick158 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick No. 158 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick163 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
No edge and no loss on Domani Jackson in No. 163; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
Somehow DJ Campbell was still sitting there in slot 196, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
The board had Zavion Thomas higher than pick 234, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick235 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Thaddeus Dixon in the 235th overall pick, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick244 Rnd7 Cole Payton
Good price on Cole Payton in Round 7, Pick 28, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
