Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Vikings. For now, C+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Donovan Jackson in the 24th overall pick, a good 42 spots before the room expected him. Call it a C+ and check back in two years.

On value alone, James makes the weekend a net positive. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Donovan Jackson
In slot 24 they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Nothing to complain about; Savion Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jordan James
Jordan James in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
The board had cheaper options than Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at the 187th pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
