Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureC-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Vikings' one glaring miss is safety, a need they left exactly as they found it.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. They will need Tupuola-Fetui to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 11 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at No. 42 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in pick 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
No drama and no debate, Jordan Travis went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in the 157th pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick166 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They paid up for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 166th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Trey Knox
A conviction pick on Trey Knox at pick No. 179 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the 227th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
