Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueD NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Vikings: C.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Vikings did exactly that with Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 24. Call it a C and check back in two years.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Neal pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.

If Azareye'h Thomas and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Azareye'h Thomas
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Azareye'h Thomas well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal slipping to pick 97 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
