Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 75th pick lands the Vikings a B-, Coleman and all.

The Vikings did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jonah Coleman fell into the 75th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Abney II pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, edge rusher and other spots.

The cost of the Zuhn III reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jermod McCoy
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick43 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A straight-up fair deal on CJ Allen at pick No. 43, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in pick 75 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Keith Abney II at cornerback with quarterback, edge rusher and other spots open.
Pick161 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
Terrance Carter Jr. is a better player than No. 161 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Evan Stewart
By-the-book stuff, Evan Stewart at the 197th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 11. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
A slide stopped in the 242nd overall pick, with Malik Hartford worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
