Skruger DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Vikings. The Vikings did not so much draft Dorian Strong as overpay for him, 26 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Landing James that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick No. 24 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick97
Rnd3
Dorian Strong
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dorian Strong well ahead of where he belonged. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139
Rnd5
Jordan James
Circle this one: Jordan James at slot 139 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187
Rnd6
CJ West
No drama and no debate, CJ West went about where he belonged in the 187th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
