Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall F
ValueF NeedB TradesF FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Lee III: F.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: J'Mari Taylor, 133 picks early at pick 9.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 J'Mari Taylor
In the 9th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game, a steep price for the projection.
Pick161 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick 161 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194 Rnd6 Will Lee III
Will Lee III at slot 194 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick234 Rnd7 Korey Foreman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Korey Foreman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
By-the-book stuff, Will Kacmarek at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
