Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedA- TradesD FutureB-
The Vikings found their guy under center in McCarthy: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Vikings spent No. 252 on Jordan Davis, a name most had 110 spots down the list.

They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here. Torrence at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

The safety spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 7 they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cornelius Johnson
They talked themselves into Cornelius Johnson at slot 116, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the 153rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in Round 5, Pick 21 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in No. 167, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick177 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick230 Rnd7 Ro Torrence
They robbed the room for Ro Torrence here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick232 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in slot 232 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick252 Rnd7 Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis in pick No. 252 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
