Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a B-, for the Vikings.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Vikings spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

However the rest shakes out, Murphy at that price is a win they earned. The Keegan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 14 they get a franchise quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at pick 42, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 35, where Khyree Jackson graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 109th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick130 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
They reached into another round for Trevor Keegan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A reach for Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
A quiet steal in the 166th pick: Dylan Laube for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick179 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
Taking Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 179 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
They will replay Grayson Murphy at No. 190 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
