Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Golday: B.

There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Vikings never got to the one that mattered most. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

On value alone, Golday makes the weekend a net positive. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Chris Johnson
A quiet steal in pick No. 49: Chris Johnson for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick 82 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
No drama and no debate, Jacob Rodriguez went about where he belonged in No. 97. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost at the 161st overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194 Rnd6 Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson at slot 194 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Trebor Pena at Round 7, Pick 24 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
