Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nix is the plan now, and the Vikings grade out a B-.

Start where it matters. The Vikings took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 11 they get the face of the franchise, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
They did well to land Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 10, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They liked Darius Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Good price on Cole Bishop in pick 130, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 148 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick160 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on LaDarius Henderson at the 160th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A reach for Curtis Jacobs in the 166th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick179 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen Harrell at No. 179, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jayson Jones
They talked themselves into Jayson Jones at pick 230, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
