Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
The Vikings bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Vikings spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Every board in the league had Okie-Anoma lower, and that gap is the story. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Ulofoshio steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 25 they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Max Melton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 27. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick113 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 113th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Good price on Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in slot 138. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in pick No. 157: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. is a better player than the 167th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Nice patience on Sione Vaki, who had no business lasting to pick 169. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 177th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick228 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
A slide stopped in No. 228, with Caedan Wallace worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Value with a capital V on JD Bertrand in Round 7, Pick 10, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick232 Rnd7 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They left a pile of value on the table to take Eyabi Okie-Anoma this early at pick No. 232. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Somehow Edefuan Ulofoshio was still sitting there in slot 255, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
