Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Vikings: C.

The Vikings went off the board in a big way for Sevion Morrison, 286 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The roster is better shaped than it was, with safety chief among the fixes.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

If Benjamin Morrison and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Benjamin Morrison
In the 24th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside, a steep price for the projection.
Pick97 Rnd3 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 97th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick139 Rnd5 Sevion Morrison
A wild overpay on Sevion Morrison in pick No. 139, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at Round 6, Pick 11 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
