The Vikings bet big and early on Ja'Quinden Jackson, 135 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

Safety was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
