Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Tyler Cooper at pick 97 will need to, sitting 71 spots clear of his grade.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In the 24th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tyler Cooper
They reached a country mile for Tyler Cooper at slot 97, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Tommi Hill
They paid up for Tommi Hill at Round 5, Pick 1 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
By-the-book stuff, DJ Giddens at No. 161 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
