Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

The Vikings went off the board in a big way for Clay Webb, 105 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Barron pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in pick 97, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at pick No. 140 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
A clean, defensible pick in the 161st overall pick with a little surplus value in Ryan Fitzgerald. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
