Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings found their guy under center in McCarthy: B-.

The Vikings spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The McGlothern reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The King value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 11th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Dwight McGlothern
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dwight McGlothern this early at No. 108. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick129 Rnd4 Hunter Nourzad
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Hunter Nourzad. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick167 Rnd5 Kalen King
You do not let a cornerback like Kalen King reach slot 167 and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick177 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Walter Rouse at pick No. 177. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 188 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Magee
A quiet steal in Round 7, Pick 10: Jordan Magee for less than the market said. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
