Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Vikings: C+.

Nobody had Luke Kandra this high, and it is not close. The Vikings reached 53 spots to get him at the 97th pick. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Nash. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

Hit on Trey Amos and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Trey Amos
In the 24th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. More want than need.
Pick97 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
A real head-scratcher, Luke Kandra in No. 97 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James in the 139th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Nick Nash
The board fumbled Nick Nash all the way to slot 187, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
