Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA
The Vikings found their guy under center in Williams: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Vikings, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Caleb Williams is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Rosemy-Jacksaint to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The Bertrand value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 11th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 36 with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
The board had Tyler Guyton higher than pick 40, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick42 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 42nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick47 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick109 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in No. 109. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 30. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They paid sticker price for Trevor Keegan in slot 156, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick No. 166 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick179 Rnd6 Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at pick 190, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick229 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
Steal is underselling it; JD Bertrand at slot 229 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
