Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Vikings a B, McCoy and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jermod McCoy, the No. 11 name on the board, stolen at slot 214. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 22 they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Mansoor Delane
They barely believed it either: Mansoor Delane still on the board at the 53rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick84 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
You do not let a tight end like Kenyon Sadiq reach pick 84 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kamari Ramsey
Kamari Ramsey in the 97th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jake Slaughter
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Slaughter in Round 4, Pick 39, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171 Rnd5 Cayden Green
Cayden Green at slot 171 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181 Rnd5 Ja'Kobi Lane
They will replay Ja'Kobi Lane at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214 Rnd6 Jermod McCoy
Circle this one: Jermod McCoy at pick No. 214 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick239 Rnd7 Charles Jagusah
Charles Jagusah in No. 239 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
