Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
B-
ValueC
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Vikings a B-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Vikings started one anyway for Roderick Kearney, 32 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Makhi Hughes
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A real need, handled.
Pick50
Rnd2
Roderick Kearney
A real head-scratcher, Roderick Kearney in the 50th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
