Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB+
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Ben Sinnott at pick No. 109 is 22 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Tracy Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In No. 26 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Fair-plus on T'Vondre Sweat, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Tampa at the Round 2 slot. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick85 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
They did well to land Brandon Dorlus in slot 85, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick89 Rnd3 Blake Corum
A tidy little value on Blake Corum in Round 3, Pick 26, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick109 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in pick 109 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 126th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Value with a capital V on Tyrone Tracy Jr. in pick No. 130, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
A slide stopped in the 166th pick, with Jordan Travis worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
