Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB
Grand theft in the 129th pick: the Vikings steal Skattebo and grade out a B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cam Skattebo got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at the Round 4 slot.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Desmond King II pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Reaching for Colby left real value on the table behind him.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 27 they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Denzel Burke in the 97th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at the 129th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
They paid sticker price for Jackson Slater in slot 139, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They jumped the gun on Connor Colby, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
