Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Larceny in Round 6, Pick 4 lands the Vikings a B, Sainristil and all.

Call it larceny. Mike Sainristil sat on the board until pick 179, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in the 58th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick89 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at No. 112 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick127 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to pick 127. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams in slot 137 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
Taking Khyree Jackson in the 149th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick157 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at pick No. 157 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick162 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A straight-up fair deal on Ainias Smith at No. 162, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth in Round 5, Pick 29 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick179 Rnd6 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at slot 179 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick233 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
They took Austin Stogner at par in pick No. 233, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
