Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureA+
A franchise passer in McCarthy headlines a B+ weekend for the Vikings.

The search is over. The Vikings handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the safety spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in pick 42 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
Value with a capital V on Jacob Cowing in pick No. 108, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 130 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They paid sticker price for Javion Cohen in No. 148, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick160 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braelon Allen in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick166 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They read the board right and Keith Randolph Jr. was the payoff at the 166th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick179 Rnd6 Myles Jones
They reached a country mile for Myles Jones at the 179th pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick230 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Xavier Thomas. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
