Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Vikings spent Round 7, Pick 11 on Bear Alexander, a name most had 33 spots down the list.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Landing Rivers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 11 they get a ballhawk on the back end at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
They let Jake Slaughter come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 11. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75 Rnd3 Colton Hood
They read the board right and Colton Hood was the payoff at the 75th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jadarian Price this early at slot 115. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jacob Rodriguez
They liked Jacob Rodriguez enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 155. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick161 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A tidy bit of business in pick 161, where Eric Rivers graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick216 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Shamar Easter at slot 216 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick226 Rnd7 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander in the 226th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jerry Wilson. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
