Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Monangai: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kyle Monangai, the No. 204 name on the board, stolen at the 257th pick.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A quiet steal in slot 33: Walter Nolen for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They let Donovan Jackson come to them and pounced at pick 97. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jared Wilson reach No. 140 and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Anthony Belton
The board fumbled Anthony Belton all the way to pick No. 161, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Circle this one: Kyle Monangai at Round 7, Pick 39 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
