Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
A-

FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Vikings a A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Vikings came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hall Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, DeVante Parker leading the way.
Bottom line, with J.J. McCarthy leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A conviction pick on J.J. McCarthy at No. 34 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They paid a round early for Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 2, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick68
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at the 68th pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
