Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureA
The Vikings answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: B.

Start where it matters. The Vikings took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Sainristil pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Sainristil pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, tight end and other spots. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 24 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
No edge and no loss on Tyler Guyton in slot 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson is a better player than the 87th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mike Sainristil
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Mike Sainristil at cornerback with wide receiver, tight end and other spots open.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at No. 130 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Johnson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A big swing on Brennan Jackson at pick No. 165, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They jumped the gun on Isaiah Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in Round 7, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
