Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Isaac Brown pick is the one that will follow the Vikings into the fall. They took him 83 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Suntarine Perkins
In slot 18 they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at pick 49 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Iapani Laloulu
Iapani Laloulu in the 82nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ashton Hampton
A reach for Ashton Hampton in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick161 Rnd5 Isaac Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Brown in the 161st overall pick, miles early. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Donovan Jones
Donovan Jones in No. 194 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick234 Rnd7 DJ Vonnahme
DJ Vonnahme at No. 234 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick240 Rnd7 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah is a better player than pick 240 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
