Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

The Vikings' one glaring miss is quarterback, a need they left exactly as they found it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They are betting Skattebo proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took King. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Booker at slot 33, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 94th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They went early on Cam Skattebo in pick No. 97, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kobe King
Kobe King at No. 139 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They did well to land Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 187, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
No edge and no loss on Tyler Cooper in the 192nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
