Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Vikings a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Vikings were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and safety is somehow still a want. Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
They paid up for Cooper DeJean at pick No. 51 when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick52 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
No edge and no loss on Brandon Dorlus in the 52nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Nothing to complain about; Brenden Rice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at Round 5, Pick 21 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick163 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 163 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick179 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A reach for Michael Barrett in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick193 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 193rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Harrell at pick 241, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
