Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B- to prove it.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Vikings reached some 34 spots for Drake Lindsey, and value like that does not grow back.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 3 of 7 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Damon Wilson II
No drama and no debate, Damon Wilson II went about where he belonged in Round 1, Pick 18. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick49 Rnd2 Samson Okunlola
Samson Okunlola in the 49th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Antwan Raymond
They reached a country mile for Antwan Raymond at No. 82, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick97 Rnd3 Drake Lindsey
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drake Lindsey this early at pick 97. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Dezz Ricks
Dezz Ricks in the 161st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Cole Sullivan
Value said wait; Cole Sullivan in slot 194 says they were not listening. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick234 Rnd7 Charles Jagusah
No edge and no loss on Charles Jagusah in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240 Rnd7 Xavier Chaplin
A clean, defensible pick in slot 240 with a little surplus value in Xavier Chaplin. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
