Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings won the night they stopped Monheim from sliding. Grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Jonah Monheim slide 45 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In slot 29 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 16: Quinshon Judkins for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy little value on Kevin Winston Jr. in the 102nd pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
Taking O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer at pick No. 152 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Emery Jones Jr. at pick 161 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
They will replay Pat Bryant at the 168th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in No. 207 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Torricelli Simpkins III. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
