Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Golday fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Vikings never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.

Golday at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th pick they get a featured back at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick49 Rnd2 CJ Allen
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and CJ Allen at the Round 2 slot is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott slid further than he should have, and No. 82 is lovely value for the cornerback. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick 97 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Nothing to complain about; Aaron Anderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jaren Kanak
A tidy little value on Jaren Kanak in slot 194, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick234 Rnd7 PJ Williams
PJ Williams at the 234th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jacobe Johnson in slot 240. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
