Draft Grade — Vikings

Hard to find the plan in the Vikings' weekend. D+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaiden Ausberry; the Vikings did not wait, grabbing him 311 spots ahead at No. 97.

The Davis pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Tacario Davis
In pick No. 18 they get a sticky cover corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Gracen Halton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gracen Halton this early at the 49th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick82 Rnd3 Luke Hasz
Luke Hasz in slot 82 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaiden Ausberry
A wild overpay on Jaiden Ausberry in pick 97, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jonah Coleman
Circle this one: Jonah Coleman at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jerand Bradley
Jerand Bradley at the 194th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in slot 234 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick240 Rnd7 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at No. 240 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
