Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Vikings for Johnson: B.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Kaleb Johnson, the No. 39 name on the board, sitting there at pick 97 like a gift left on the doorstep. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 T.J. Sanders
In pick 30 they get a load in the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Somehow Kaleb Johnson was still sitting there in the 97th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at slot 140 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Carson Schwesinger
Steal is underselling it; Carson Schwesinger at No. 165 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
