Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureB-
The Vikings got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Vikings, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The Wilson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On value alone, Lew makes the weekend a net positive.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In slot 18 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Anthony Hill Jr. in the 49th overall pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in the 82nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Nicholas Singleton
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
By-the-book stuff, Kaleb Proctor at pick No. 163 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick196 Rnd6 Raylen Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Raylen Wilson in pick 196 is miles ahead of his ranking. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick234 Rnd7 Barion Brown
Value said wait; Barion Brown in Round 7, Pick 18 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
Fa'alili Fa'amoe in slot 240 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
