Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB TradesA FutureA
More right than wrong for the Vikings, and a B to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Jake Majors at pick No. 97 is 35 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick49 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They reached into another round for Tate Ratledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Majors this early at the 97th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Tyler Baron
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tyler Baron. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at slot 187 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick206 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
By-the-book stuff, Joshua Gray at the 206th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
