Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Hampton should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Omarion Hampton, the No. 30 name on the board, in slot 97.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: safety settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 24 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick No. 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick140 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick 140 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
Somehow Malachi Moore was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
