Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Vikings bet big and early on Isaiah Davis, 27 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Muhammad III. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 11th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A quiet steal in the 42nd pick: Tyler Nubin for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Hall Jr. in Round 4, Pick 11. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They robbed the room for Khyree Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick148 Rnd5 James Williams
James Williams at No. 148 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Cedric Johnson at slot 160, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaiah Davis. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick179 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III at the 179th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A tidy bit of business in pick 187, where Kitan Oladapo graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at No. 230 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
