Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings won the night they stopped Taylor from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Mason Taylor tumbling to the Vikings in the 214th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The Thornton Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick47 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyleik Williams in the 47th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick78 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in pick 97 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith at the 114th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 140 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161 Rnd5 Joshua Gray
A big swing on Joshua Gray at slot 161, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick No. 182 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Somehow Mason Taylor was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 36, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd6 Cody Simon
They robbed the room for Cody Simon here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
