Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B to prove it.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Lathan Ransom, Round 5, Pick 1, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Reaching for Marshall Jr. left real value on the table behind him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They let Nick Emmanwori come to them and pounced at slot 33. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 94th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at No. 97 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
They reached a country mile for Brashard Smith at the 109th pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in the 139th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They reached into another round for Jason Marshall Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No edge and no loss on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 179; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A reach on Clay Webb in pick 187; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
By-the-book stuff, Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
