Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings robbed the room for Jennings. Final grade: B.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kevin Jennings fell into No. 240.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen slipping to Round 2, Pick 17 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at slot 82 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
Genesis Smith in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts at No. 162 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Nothing to complain about; Miles Kitselman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at the 234th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Kevin Jennings
Steal is underselling it; Kevin Jennings at pick No. 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
