TrueN0rth DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Vikings let Ransom fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. Call it larceny. Lathan Ransom sat on the board until slot 161, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Taking Deone Walker in slot 97 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
They let O'Donnell Fortune come to them and pounced at pick No. 140. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
You do not let a safety like Lathan Ransom reach No. 161 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
