Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Vikings ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Bowman Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Every board in the league had Evans lower, and that gap is the story.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In pick No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 91 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in slot 95 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in the 97th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
They talked themselves into Mitchell Evans at pick 129, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
The board fumbled Billy Bowman Jr. all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Logan Brown
They jumped the gun on Logan Brown, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick187 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in the 187th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
