Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesC FutureA+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Vikings.

The Vikings put a flag in the ground for Michael Pratt, 57 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, safety went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 29 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in No. 45 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in the 92nd pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick116 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A clean, defensible pick in slot 116 with a little surplus value in Leonard Taylor III. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Good price on Javion Cohen in pick No. 148, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 160 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Fair-plus on Layden Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips in slot 174 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick179 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A reasonable price with a little left over, Curtis Jacobs in the 179th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick230 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Taking Myles Jones in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
Chad Lindberg in the 245th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
