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

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Vikings spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hart. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 7th overall pick they get the arm they will build around. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
They went early on Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 25. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A reach on Justin Eboigbe in No. 109; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick145 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Nice patience on Cole Bishop, who had no business lasting to the 145th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick157 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Booker at pick 157, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick166 Rnd5 Cam Hart
You do not let a cornerback like Cam Hart reach pick No. 166 and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick179 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at the 179th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick216 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the 216th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick227 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Matthew Jones a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
