Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B.

The Vikings torched the value chart for Desmond Watson, taking him 35 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Landing Collins that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 36 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at the 88th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at slot 97 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick107 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 4, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Terrance Ferguson worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Briningstool
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jake Briningstool in No. 139, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Nice patience on Cody Simon, who had no business lasting to the 142nd pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey slipping to the 182nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick187 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Raheim Sanders in pick 187. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick194 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A real head-scratcher, Desmond Watson in Round 6, Pick 18 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
