Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Golday should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jake Golday got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 97. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 18th overall pick they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in Round 2, Pick 17 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick82 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 82 with a little surplus value in Mike Washington Jr.. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at the 97th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick163 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Fair-plus on Beau Stephens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick196 Rnd6 Eric Rivers
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 196 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Robert Spears-Jennings
Robert Spears-Jennings at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
No edge and no loss on Jaren Kanak in No. 235; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244 Rnd7 Owen Heinecke
By-the-book stuff, Owen Heinecke at pick 244 squarely in line with his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
