DaHo DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B
ValueA-
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Vikings: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jackson Slater, 47 picks early at slot 97. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Jeanty falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick 24 they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jackson Slater
They talked themselves into Jackson Slater at slot 97, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
A tidy little value on Mello Dotson in the 139th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick160
Rnd5
Andres Borregales
A tidy bit of business in the 160th pick, where Andres Borregales graded well above the range. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
