Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
The Vikings robbed the room for Nolen. Final grade: A-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Walter Nolen had no business being available in pick No. 140, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They executed a plan and it shows in the A-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, Desmond King II leading the way.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Ashton Jeanty and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick97 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 97, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dylan Fairchild
Circle this one: Dylan Fairchild at the 161st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
