Draft Picks Traded
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Vikings won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Vikings spent the Round 4 slot on Jack Nelson, a name the board had a full 42 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Starks. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in slot 51 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
Fair-plus on Jaylin Noel, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dylan Fairchild
No drama and no debate, Dylan Fairchild went about where he belonged in No. 97. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick106
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton at Round 4, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick107
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at the 107th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 108th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110
Rnd4
Billy Bowman Jr.
They took Billy Bowman Jr. at par in the 110th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Denzel Burke. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick115
Rnd4
Terrance Ferguson
By-the-book stuff, Terrance Ferguson at slot 115 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jordan James
Jordan James in Round 4, Pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick118
Rnd4
Kyle McCord
They paid sticker price for Kyle McCord in pick No. 118, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick119
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick 122 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131
Rnd4
Cody Simon
No edge and no loss on Cody Simon in No. 131; it is a wash and a sensible one. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at Round 4, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick135
Rnd4
Luke Kandra
They paid a round early for Luke Kandra in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick137
Rnd4
Jack Nelson
They talked themselves into Jack Nelson at No. 137, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Nice patience on Dorian Strong, who had no business lasting to the 139th overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick143
Rnd5
Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith slid further than he should have, and the 143rd pick is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145
Rnd5
Aeneas Peebles
By-the-book stuff, Aeneas Peebles at pick No. 145 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
A tidy little value on Mitchell Evans in slot 148, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
James Burnip
James Burnip in pick 149 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick152
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
They reached into another round for Elijah Roberts, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick153
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
No edge and no loss on O'Donnell Fortune in the 153rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick157
Rnd5
CJ West
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ West. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at slot 171 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick172
Rnd5
Que Robinson
A conviction pick on Que Robinson at pick 172 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174
Rnd5
Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at pick No. 174. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 187th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick217
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 1: Luke Lachey for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick218
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at pick No. 218 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris in the 220th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick232
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Good price on Cam Jackson in No. 232, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ricky White III at slot 233. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick238
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
The board had Carson Vinson higher than the Round 7 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240
Rnd7
Thomas Fidone II
They jumped the gun on Thomas Fidone II, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zeek Biggers in the 252nd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
