Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Price: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jadarian Price, the No. 61 name on the board, stolen at the 82nd pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In No. 18 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
A clean, defensible pick in slot 49 with a little surplus value in Keith Abney II. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Taking Jadarian Price in the 82nd pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Golday
The board fumbled Jake Golday all the way to the 97th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick161 Rnd5 Sam Roush
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sam Roush at the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Jatta at Round 6, Pick 15 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 London Humphreys
No drama and no debate, London Humphreys went about where he belonged in pick 234. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
They paid sticker price for Ricardo Hallman in pick No. 240, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
