Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Mullings: B+.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kalel Mullings, the No. 103 name on the board, stolen at No. 188. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 24 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 30th pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in pick 97 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 116 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick118 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Somehow Barrett Carter was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick125 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Circle this one: Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 125 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd5 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in Round 5, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
A running back of that caliber at the 188th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
