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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Vikings took Thor Griffith at the Round 7 slot, roughly 56 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Getting Johnson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in pick 35 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at No. 97 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in Round 4, Pick 1, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at pick No. 119. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They reached into another round for Jonah Monheim, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jeffrey Bassa
A quiet steal in slot 142: Jeffrey Bassa for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
No edge and no loss on RJ Harvey in pick 161; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 168th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A reasonable price with a little left over, JJ Pegues in slot 180. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 23 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
