Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Bethune fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tatum Bethune, the No. 209 name on the board, stolen at pick 230. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Rogers pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 11 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Devontez Walker at Round 2, Pick 20 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A reach on Bucky Irving in the 84th pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Fair-plus on Cam Hart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick148 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
A real head-scratcher, Justin Rogers in slot 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick163 Rnd5 Justin Walley
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Walley a notch or two before his time. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick164 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in pick 164 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
No edge and no loss on Justin Eboigbe in the 179th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They will replay Tatum Bethune at slot 230 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
