Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Vikings.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Vikings took RJ Harvey at the 97th pick, roughly 33 spots before his name belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. The back end got a real overhaul.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 24 they get an island corner. More want than need.
Pick97 Rnd3 RJ Harvey
A wild overpay on RJ Harvey in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Good price on Jake Majors in slot 139, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick187 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper in pick No. 187 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
