Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Vikings committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will need Owens to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That Pritchett pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 11 they get a passer to set the clock by, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 27 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick104 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A tidy bit of business in the 104th pick, where Brenden Rice graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in slot 119. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick129 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at pick 129 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick157 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at Round 5, Pick 21 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick167 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the 167th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Trente Jones
They liked Trente Jones enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in slot 178 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick195 Rnd6 Myles Cole
No edge and no loss on Myles Cole in pick 195; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in Round 7, Pick 10 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in pick No. 232 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
