Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Vikings spent the Round 3 slot on Jacob Parrish, a name most had 24 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Sanders falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
They reached a country mile for Jacob Parrish at pick No. 97, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick139 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
No drama and no debate, LeQuint Allen went about where he belonged in No. 139. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slid further than he should have, and pick 187 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
