Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Helm. Final grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Gunnar Helm got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at slot 139. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
A quiet steal in the 54th pick: Kaleb Johnson for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
A slide stopped in pick 87, with Maxwell Hairston worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 33 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at No. 124 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in pick No. 139 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick160 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 160th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
They robbed the room for Bhayshul Tuten here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kyle Williams
They will replay Kyle Williams at the 237th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
