Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesA FutureD
The Vikings finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Jayden Daniels is the Vikings' quarterback, full stop.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lovett.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Daniels at the 5th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Braswell. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick107 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at No. 107 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick128 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick156 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
A quiet steal in pick No. 156: Fabien Lovett for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Good price on Trevor Keegan in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick176 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in pick 176 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick187 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They paid a round early for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in slot 187, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick230 Rnd7 KT Leveston
They went early on KT Leveston in the 230th pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
