Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Vikings a B.

Nobody had J. Michael Sturdivant this high, and it is not close. The Vikings reached 32 spots to get him at Round 7, Pick 28.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 CJ Allen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing CJ Allen in No. 40. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at the 49th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
The board had Jadarian Price higher than Round 3, Pick 18, and the running back fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones slid further than he should have, and slot 108 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kevin Coleman Jr.. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
Nate Boerkircher at pick No. 169 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick196 Rnd6 VJ Payne
No drama and no debate, VJ Payne went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 15. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kaden Wetjen
A reach for Kaden Wetjen in pick 210; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick234 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Value with a capital V on Thaddeus Dixon in the 234th overall pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick235 Rnd7 TJ Hall
Nice patience on TJ Hall, who had no business lasting to the 235th pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick244 Rnd7 J. Michael Sturdivant
They left a pile of value on the table to take J. Michael Sturdivant this early at No. 244. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Value said wait; Hykeem Williams in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
