Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesC+ FutureB
The Vikings won the night they stopped Golday from sliding. Grade: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jake Golday tumbling to the Vikings in pick 97 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Every board in the league had Bissainthe lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 18 they get a three-down runner, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II in the 49th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton slipping to the 194th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
No drama and no debate, Jadon Canady went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 26. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick234 Rnd7 Wesley Bissainthe
A wild overpay on Wesley Bissainthe in No. 234, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick240 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They let Zavion Thomas come to them and pounced at pick No. 240. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
