Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in pick No. 110 lands the Vikings a C, Williams and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Antonio Williams had no business being available in No. 110, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Cuevas proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

If Dillon Thieneman and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 36 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick77 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
They robbed the room for Lee Hunter here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter in slot 82 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Antonio Williams
Somehow Antonio Williams was still sitting there in the 110th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick116 Rnd4 Keylan Rutledge
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 116, where Keylan Rutledge graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
A slide stopped in the 137th pick, with Davison Igbinosun worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick196 Rnd6 Sawyer Robertson
By-the-book stuff, Sawyer Robertson at pick 196 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Le'Veon Moss
They barely believed it either: Le'Veon Moss still on the board at Round 7, Pick 4. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick221 Rnd7 Keyshaun Elliott
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Keyshaun Elliott. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick234 Rnd7 Toriano Pride Jr.
They will replay Toriano Pride Jr. at the 234th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick235 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
They went early on Josh Cuevas in Round 7, Pick 19, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick244 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
Jimmy Rolder in slot 244 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
The board fumbled Kaden Wetjen all the way to pick 247, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
