Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Sanders fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how T.J. Sanders got past him. The Vikings do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 159. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In No. 24 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. More want than need.
Pick97 Rnd3 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick138 Rnd5 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at slot 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
