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

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Malaki Starks slide 22 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in the 97th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick140 Rnd5 Connor Colby
They paid sticker price for Connor Colby in slot 140, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai at Round 5, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick241 Rnd7 Justin Walley
Justin Walley at pick 241 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
