Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Winston Jr. should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 97 name on the board, in pick 130. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Parrish pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with safety the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Booker. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in pick 94 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick97 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A clean, defensible pick in slot 97 with a little surplus value in Gunnar Helm. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd3 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in the 102nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 130th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick179 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at Round 6, Pick 3 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187 Rnd6 CJ West
They took CJ West at par in pick No. 187, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They let Jack Nelson come to them and pounced at pick 192. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
