Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Cooper; the Vikings did not wait, grabbing him 28 spots ahead at the Round 5 slot. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jeanty. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at pick No. 24 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 O'Donnell Fortune
A big swing on O'Donnell Fortune at slot 97, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the 139th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 160th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
