Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
The Vikings let Jeanty fall into their laps, and walked away with a B. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Vikings watched Ashton Jeanty slide 95 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 24th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in pick 97 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
