Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings cashed the board's mistake on Daniels: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: CJ Daniels, the 161st pick, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Kelly to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 18 they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that.
Pick49 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks at slot 49 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
A tidy bit of business in the 82nd overall pick, where Keionte Scott graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick97 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 97 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick161 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
You do not let a wide receiver like CJ Daniels reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in pick 194 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick234 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 18. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Kelly this early at the 240th pick. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
