Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureC-
The Vikings fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Vikings were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

It is not that Rakestraw Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Vikings had louder needs to answer first. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Means steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick34 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They paid sticker price for Chop Robinson in slot 34, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A want over a need in the 39th pick: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. adds a cornerback while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick109 Rnd4 Beau Brade
No drama and no debate, Beau Brade went about where he belonged in pick 109. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick113 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 130th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick156 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at No. 156 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick166 Rnd5 Renardo Green
Nice patience on Renardo Green, who had no business lasting to pick No. 166. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 179th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Curtis Jacobs in the 190th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick210 Rnd6 Bub Means
Bub Means slid further than he should have, and pick No. 210 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
