Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Estime: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Audric Estime had no business being available in No. 148, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a No. 1 receiver, and a steal at that.
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Williams
Taking Caleb Williams in pick 42 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in slot 108 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Audric Estime
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Audric Estime in No. 148, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 James Williams
The board fumbled James Williams all the way to the 160th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 166th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick179 Rnd6 Cedric Gray
You do not let a linebacker like Cedric Gray reach pick No. 179 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick230 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Nice patience on Myles Jones, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 10. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
