Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
C+
ValueC
NeedC+
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Vikings land in the muddy middle: C+. Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Vikings to leave a draft.
Reaching for Styles left real value on the table behind him. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.
So much rides on Sonny Styles that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In the 18th pick they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick49
Rnd2
Chris Johnson
They paid sticker price for Chris Johnson in pick No. 49, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
