Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C.

Some picks age like wine; Will Howard at the 24th overall pick will need to, sitting 103 spots clear of his grade. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

Henderson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Will Howard is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Will Howard
In the 24th pick they get a passer to set the clock by, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 97 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick138 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in No. 138 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Devin Neal
Devin Neal in Round 5, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
