Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

Call it larceny. Jarrian Jones sat on the board until slot 148, and the Vikings did not need to be asked twice.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Every board in the league had Baker lower, and that gap is the story.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In Round 1, Pick 11 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 42nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Max Melton
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in slot 108, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Isaiah Adams at the Round 4 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They will replay Jarrian Jones at pick 148 for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick160 Rnd5 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at pick No. 160 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson slid further than he should have, and the 166th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in No. 179 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick230 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Steele Chambers in Round 7, Pick 10. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
