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

Thirty-one other rooms let Quinshon Judkins slide, and the Vikings were the ones holding the card at the Round 5 slot. Highway robbery.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with offensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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 Kenneth Grant
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 97th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at pick 140. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick165 Rnd5 Quinshon Judkins
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in slot 165, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
