Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Vikings bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Johnny Dixon at the 253rd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Taylor reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 25 they get their guy under center for the next decade. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Adonai Mitchell at Round 2, Pick 10 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick59 Rnd2 Ruke Orhorhoro
They liked Ruke Orhorhoro enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in slot 110 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
You do not let a cornerback like Andru Phillips reach pick No. 123 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at the 129th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A premium they did not need to pay, Mason McCormick a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick157 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Davis at Round 5, Pick 21 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in No. 167, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick177 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They took Tip Reiman at par in the 177th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick230 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at slot 230 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Trey Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in pick No. 232, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Johnny Dixon in the 253rd overall pick, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
