Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Garret Greenfield selection is the head-turner. The Vikings reached 33 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Davis where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallas Turner. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick42 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They took J.J. McCarthy at par in pick 42, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at No. 107 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in slot 128 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
A real head-scratcher, Johnny Dixon in Round 5, Pick 20 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Nice patience on Cody Schrader, who had no business lasting to the 166th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick176 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They let Isaiah Davis come to them and pounced at slot 176. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
They reached into another round for Garret Greenfield, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
