Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureD
Penix Jr. is the Vikings' new face under center. Grade: C+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Vikings' quarterback, full stop.

The Barrett reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 7th pick they get their quarterback of the future. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at No. 42 that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 108 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick128 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A real head-scratcher, Darius Robinson in the 128th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A wild overpay on Michael Barrett in the Round 5 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at Round 5, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick164 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at slot 164 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick179 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 179 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dwight McGlothern in No. 230. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
