Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesF FutureF
The Vikings let Mullings fall and pounced. Final grade: C-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Vikings did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The Mullings steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will need Edwards to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In pick 14 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the 27th pick they get a mismatch in the passing game at fair value.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Kenneth Grant for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
Kalel Mullings in the 139th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick160 Rnd5 Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards at No. 160 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
