Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a B-, for the Vikings.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Vikings' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Newton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped safety, which is a strange place to end up.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while safety, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 11th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick118 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
Value with a capital V on MarShawn Lloyd in No. 118, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick130 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with safety, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick150 Rnd5 Josh Newton
They robbed the room for Josh Newton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick156 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris at slot 156 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 166 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick179 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Layden Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at slot 190. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
