Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B-.

The Vikings went off the board in a big way for Benjamin Brahmer, 27 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Frazier pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nate Frazier
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nate Frazier at the 49th pick is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick82 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
They paid a round early for Nyck Harbor in pick No. 82, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ashton Hampton in pick 97, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick161 Rnd5 Benjamin Brahmer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Benjamin Brahmer this early at No. 161. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Sheridan Wilson
A real head-scratcher, Sheridan Wilson in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick234 Rnd7 Randon Fontenette
The board had Randon Fontenette higher than pick No. 234, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Austin Romaine
They did well to land Austin Romaine in pick 240, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
