Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Vikings committed. LaNorris Sellers is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Bennee steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If Harbor pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 LaNorris Sellers
In pick 30 they get the face of the franchise, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jadan Baugh
Somehow Jadan Baugh was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier running back value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick79 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nyck Harbor. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94 Rnd3 Greg Johnson
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158 Rnd5 Koi Perich
Koi Perich at slot 158 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jackson Bennee
Steal is underselling it; Jackson Bennee at No. 164 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Nicholas Rodriguez
You do not let a linebacker like Nicholas Rodriguez reach the 167th pick and blink. They did not. The roster logic is harder to follow.
Pick181 Rnd5 Drew Bobo
They read the board right and Drew Bobo was the payoff at pick No. 181. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Benjamin Brahmer
Benjamin Brahmer at the 188th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202 Rnd6 Niki Prongos
Niki Prongos at pick No. 202 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Elinneus Davis
They did well to land Elinneus Davis in the 230th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
