Draft Grade — Vikings

Melton should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Max Melton, the No. 111 name on the board, stolen at the 130th pick.

That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
They took Rome Odunze at par in pick 11, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson at No. 42 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at pick No. 108 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at slot 130 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick148 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to Round 5, Pick 12 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. is a better player than the 160th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Jaylen Wright worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at the 179th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick230 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Daequan Hardy at pick 230. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
