Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Vikings.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Vikings spent pick No. 97 on Connor Colby, a name the board had a full 84 spots lower.

Strong falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the 24th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick97 Rnd3 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in No. 97 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick139 Rnd5 Dorian Strong
Circle this one: Dorian Strong at Round 5, Pick 1 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaydon Blue
Value with a capital V on Jaydon Blue in the 187th pick, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
