Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Jackson fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Donovan Jackson tumbling to the Vikings in pick 140 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Skattebo reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick No. 24 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick140 Rnd5 Donovan Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Donovan Jackson at Round 5, Pick 1 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick161 Rnd5 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom in slot 161 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
