Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 140th overall pick lands the Vikings a B, Trapilo and all.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ozzy Trapilo fell into the 140th overall pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Landon Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Landon Jackson at the 24th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at No. 97 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick140 Rnd5 Ozzy Trapilo
Taking Ozzy Trapilo in the 140th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James in Round 5, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
