Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B+
ValueB
NeedB-
TradesA+
FutureB-
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. Thirty-one other rooms let Caleb Ransaw slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at slot 245. Highway robbery.
Dellinger has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick47
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Nick Emmanwori in slot 47, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins is a better player than Round 3, Pick 6 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A tidy little value on Maxwell Hairston in No. 78, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A quiet steal in the 90th pick: Chris Paul Jr. for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91
Rnd3
Charles Grant
They took Charles Grant at par in pick No. 91, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 38 with a little surplus value in Zy Alexander. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick103
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Good price on Tai Felton in the 103rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A slide stopped in pick 112, with Cam Skattebo worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Value with a capital V on Tez Johnson in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Steal is underselling it; Jared Wilson at slot 120 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick128
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
They let Denzel Burke come to them and pounced at the 128th overall pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick130
Rnd4
Quinn Ewers
They robbed the room for Quinn Ewers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick138
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton in pick No. 138 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
By-the-book stuff, Mitchell Evans at Round 5, Pick 1 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147
Rnd5
LeQuint Allen
LeQuint Allen at No. 147 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce slid further than he should have, and pick 148 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at slot 152 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick160
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Nothing to complain about; Antwaun Powell-Ryland went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179
Rnd6
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in No. 179 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jack Kiser in slot 187. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick205
Rnd6
Luke Elzinga
They went early on Luke Elzinga in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in Round 7, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick226
Rnd7
Cam Horsley
They paid up for Cam Horsley at pick 226 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick233
Rnd7
Kyle Monangai
A running back of that caliber at the 233rd pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jabbar Muhammad
Jabbar Muhammad in the 240th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Taking Caleb Ransaw in pick No. 245 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick252
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Dellinger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
