Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Vikings: B-.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Vikings did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to quarterback, which was the need that mattered most. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Gordon II falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They left with running back solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Tez Johnson at slot 97 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Trevor Etienne
A straight-up fair deal on Trevor Etienne at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II slid further than he should have, and pick 187 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
