Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
Larceny in pick 163 lands the Vikings a A-, Judkins and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Quinshon Judkins, the 163rd overall pick, roughly 87 picks past where he belonged. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, David Montgomery leading the way.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick Analysis
Pick140 Rnd5 Evan Stewart
Steal is underselling it; Evan Stewart at pick 140 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jason Marshall Jr.
They let Jason Marshall Jr. come to them and pounced at pick No. 151. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick163 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at Round 5, Pick 25 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jordan White
They did well to land Jordan White in the 242nd pick, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
