Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Vikings left safety untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Pritchett. Ford has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The dealing was even money, start to finish.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick48 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No drama and no debate, J.J. McCarthy went about where he belonged in No. 48. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
A clean, defensible pick in the 112th pick with a little surplus value in Bucky Irving. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at pick 116, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in Round 4, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Value said wait; Jaylan Ford in slot 149 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at the 162nd overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick165 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
By-the-book stuff, Nelson Ceaser at pick No. 165 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in pick 179 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Marques Cox
They let Marques Cox come to them and pounced at slot 233. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
