Key to columns:

CC's gr = Charlie Campbell's grade

CBS gr = CBS Sports grade

Brugler = Dane Brugler's (the Athletic) grade

PFF Grade = Grade from player's 2019 season

pSPARQ & RAS = Systems that rate the player's athletic and body testing

Total = A summary of all of the fields, along with my own points

Grad = My final total grade



Any value bold and in italics is a placeholder filling a blank, I did my best research putting the value in. With many Pro Days canceled, this could be a bit inaccurate.



Let's take a look at the positions that my top 60 prospects play:



QB - 4

HB - 4

WR - 12

TE - 2

T - 9

G - 0

C - 0

ED - 6

DT - 6

LB - 3

CB - 9

S - 5



This is a great draft class to need a WR, T, or CB... sounds perfect for the Vikings!



I will be uploading a version as a Google Document version that will be able to be sorted and filtered, so you can see everything the board has to offer.



For now, I will be posting updates showing off a position group. I'll lead off with the CB group:









That's a ton of 2nd round prospects! I like the upside most of them have to offer. Coming away with someone the caliber of Fulton or Terrell would be very nice. I also think Dantzler is better than his athletic measurements imply, and is also worth a 2nd round pick.



Later on, I like Ojemudia and Lamar Jackson as sleeper prospects would could develop into starters.



I'll be posting more soon, but let me know what you think of my ratings! Alright, folks, it's time to bust out my draft board, filled with 197 players!

Can I get your assessment on my sneaky favorites for the Vikes?



1. Aiyuk

2. Terrell

3. Ruiz Good stuff. Thanks for putting the work into this.Can I get your assessment on my sneaky favorites for the Vikes?1. Aiyuk2. Terrell3. Ruiz



Aiyuk would make a nice option, though while I think spending a first on him would be rather rich, he'd be a great #2 to Thielen. He's got solid hands, runs nice routes, and is devastating after the catch.



Terrell has the size and speed to be an NFL starting corner, but had a tendency to get overpowered by WRs and got beat by a few top WRs. He has the experience (2+ years as a starter) to step into the starting lineup faster than others. I like him in the 2nd round.



Ruiz looks like a fit for the Vikings' zone blocking scheme, but I'm not all that high on him compared to others who are mocking him to go at the end of Round 1. PFF had him as a great pass protector, but rather weak as a run blocker. I would rather pick him Day 2.

Looking at your list made me realize I forgot Diggs! You're much higher on Isaiah Wilson than me and much lower on Gladney.Looking at your list made me realize I forgot Diggs!



Wilson's not a fit for the Vikings, but I think he'll make a fine RT. Maybe Jones should be higher since he has the potential to be a LT. Yeah, Gladney landed in the lower 2nd rounders, as the 9th CB! A big part of this appears to be that Gladney played at an elite level in 2018, but took a big step back in 2019. I don't factor in pre-2019 play, which is something that I should consider, so he gets penalized for that. It didn't help that his athletic measurements came in lower than most the other CBs.Wilson's not a fit for the Vikings, but I think he'll make a fine RT.

These are helpful...



I would be happy with Fulton in round one, but also would be fine waiting and seeing what is there in round 2. I still hope we pick up a decent veteran CB, that is a pretty young corps. But the starting safeties are both very seasoned, which will help them line up.

I don't see Kindle Vildor on the CB list



Is he sub 200 ovr? He tested well. Purple and Green:I don't see Kindle Vildor on the CB listIs he sub 200 ovr? He tested well.





I'd love to see a list that omits QB/RB/TE.



to really show the depth the draft has for our positions of need. There is such a discrepancy in where all these CB/WR/OT rank, that I still believe trading down is our best option unless a top talent is there at our pick. Higgns/Aiyuk/Reagor/Mims and Gladney/Fulton/Johnson/Diggs/Terrel/Arnette all ranged from mid first rounders to late second rounders depending on who’s big board you look at, and if we like all of them, we could probably trade down from 22 and some filler picks to get two top 50 2nd rounders and land one of these CBs and WRs with first round grades. Take BPA at 25, and walk away with 3 first round graded guys along with whoever falls to 58; hopefully one of the DTs.

Brown is a potential year 1 pro bowl DT, and Henderson is a prototypical CB. Both are probably higher on NFL teams draft boards. Jefferson’s ceiling is a lot lower than his position would indicate, even if he has higher floor than most receivers. Taylor at 18 (above Jeudy no less) is pretty crazy too given some could make the argument he’s not even a top 3 RB in the draft.



Those all definitely stood out, and then the rest confirms what I’ve thought:



We need to trade up to get one of the top 15 players - less QBs and running backs. The talent after that is so well distributed for the next 50 picks it’s wild.



Trade into a spot to grab a top 15 player and trade back with the other first if we have it and accumulating as many picks between 40-60 as possible. Trading back up into the second or early third isn’t a bad idea either. sunnuvadutch:Brown is a potential year 1 pro bowl DT, and Henderson is a prototypical CB.
