Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB
Haulcy should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and A.J. Haulcy fell into the 82nd overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Holly proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Vikings paired the rookies with proven help, Dane Jackson leading the way.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In pick No. 27 they get a security blanket over the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jonah Coleman
They read the board right and Jonah Coleman was the payoff at slot 53. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick60 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at the 60th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at pick 82 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick97 Rnd3 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers at the 97th overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick118 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at No. 118 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 23 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick194 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Zuhn III at pick 194, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trey Holly
Trey Holly in the 234th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
