Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA- FutureA
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Vikings grade out a B+.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Vikings' quarterback, full stop. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Landing Mahogany that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They are betting McCarthy proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Leaving safety unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick 15 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 2, Pick 10 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109 Rnd4 Trey Benson
Trey Benson is a better player than No. 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
The board fumbled Christian Mahogany all the way to slot 130, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
By-the-book stuff, Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick156 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A slide stopped in the 156th pick, with Jarrian Jones worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Good price on Jaheim Bell in the 166th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick179 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 179 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tahj Washington. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick193 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at slot 193 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
