Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Johnson: B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 41 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 33.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A tidy bit of business in the 44th pick, where Derrick Harmon graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 3, Pick 12 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 97th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
They will replay Jared Wilson at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jackson Slater
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jackson Slater in No. 163. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
