Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Vikings.

The Vikings did not so much draft Isaiah Davis as overpay for him, 57 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Landing Walley that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reasonable price with a little left over, JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick42 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
A big swing on Brandon Dorlus at slot 42, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick No. 73, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick92 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
They went early on Michael Pratt in the 92nd pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
Somehow Mike Sainristil was still sitting there in No. 108, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Nothing to complain about; Ainias Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick133 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
A quiet steal in the 133rd overall pick: Donovan Jackson for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Isaiah Davis
They reached into another round for Isaiah Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148 Rnd5 James Williams
They read the board right and James Williams was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 12. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at No. 160 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick165 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 165 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick179 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 179th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick225 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at pick No. 230 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
