Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
The Vikings won the night they stopped Davis from sliding. Grade: A-.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Isaiah Davis, the No. 164 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 15 like a gift left on the doorstep. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The veteran additions, Maliek Collins chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, with Laiatu Latu leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
A tidy bit of business in Round 1, Pick 23, where Laiatu Latu graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at pick 42 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at slot 109 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick156 Rnd5 Kalen King
Kalen King in pick No. 156 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick166 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 166th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick190 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Davis still on the board at No. 190. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
