Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueD- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Vikings get a C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Donovan Jackson at pick No. 24 is 42 spots clear of where he belonged.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Donovan Jackson
In No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jamaree Caldwell
They reached a country mile for Jamaree Caldwell at pick 102, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104 Rnd4 Tai Felton
A clean, defensible pick in the 104th overall pick with a little surplus value in Tai Felton. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick179 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
Fair-plus on DJ Giddens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
