Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedC+ TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 97: the Vikings steal McCoy and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Jermod McCoy, the No. 16 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 97th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They will answer for taking cornerback early while quarterback, edge rusher and other spots went begging. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Avieon Terrell
Avieon Terrell in No. 42 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. slipping to pick No. 49 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jermod McCoy
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots to take Jermod McCoy, a cornerback that was not the priority.
