Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Jones Jr.: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Emery Jones Jr. slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Every board in the league had Fairchild lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They paid a round early for Dylan Fairchild in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
The board fumbled Brashard Smith all the way to slot 140, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 161 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
