Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureD
The Vikings won the night they stopped Sampson from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dylan Sampson got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 97.

The Pegues reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a blindside protector, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick65 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at the 65th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to slot 97, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Darius Alexander
A tidy bit of business in pick 140, where Darius Alexander graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at No. 155 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jonah Monheim
They read the board right and Jonah Monheim was the payoff at pick No. 161. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick221 Rnd7 Upton Stout
They will replay Upton Stout at the 221st pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
