MNFtball2025 DRAFTING FOR THEVikings

Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall

FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B-. Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Vikings will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The cost of the Matavao reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Woodson.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In pick No. 26 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
A quiet steal in slot 90: Chris Paul Jr. for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick101
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 101st pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in No. 127 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147
Rnd5
Nick Nash
Nick Nash in the 147th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jarquez Hunter
A conviction pick on Jarquez Hunter at pick 175 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick214
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
They went early on Jordan Hancock in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick221
Rnd7
Nazir Stackhouse
Good price on Nazir Stackhouse in Round 7, Pick 5, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick223
Rnd7
Alijah Huzzie
They paid sticker price for Alijah Huzzie in pick 223, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick234
Rnd7
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at the 234th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
By-the-book stuff, Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at No. 241 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick252
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at pick No. 252, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256
Rnd7
Moliki Matavao
They reached into another round for Moliki Matavao, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
