Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

The Vikings did not so much draft Joe Milton III as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 11th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick108 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in No. 129, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at Round 5, Pick 21 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in pick 167 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick177 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Trente Jones a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
A straight-up fair deal on Trevin Wallace at Round 7, Pick 10, value and slot in agreement. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
No edge and no loss on Andrew Raym in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
