Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Jeanty: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ashton Jeanty had no business being available in the Round 1 slot, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 24 they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Zy Alexander at the 97th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick139 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A clean, defensible pick in pick 139 with a little surplus value in Brashard Smith. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A tidy little value on Connor Colby in slot 187, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
