Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Aguilar: B.

Somebody in the 240th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Vikings sat still while Joey Aguilar, the No. 220 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a bell-cow for the offense, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 CJ Allen
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 49, where CJ Allen graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott at the 82nd overall pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick97 Rnd3 Genesis Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Genesis Smith in the 97th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick161 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at No. 161 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194 Rnd6 Josh Cuevas
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Cuevas. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick234 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
They took Jacobe Johnson at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
They barely believed it either: Joey Aguilar still on the board at pick 240. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
