Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Johnson should have been long gone. The Vikings pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tez Johnson tumbling to the Vikings in No. 141 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Reaching for Downs left real value on the table behind him. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 8 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 97th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Phillips at slot 108 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at No. 112 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick120 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
A wild overpay on Hollin Pierce in the 120th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Milroe at pick No. 126 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick139 Rnd5 LeQuint Allen
They paid sticker price for LeQuint Allen in pick 139, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick141 Rnd5 Tez Johnson
They barely believed it either: Tez Johnson still on the board at pick No. 141. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board had cheaper options than Jack Kiser at No. 167, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick178 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A reach on Clay Webb in the 178th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Upton Stout
A straight-up fair deal on Upton Stout at Round 6, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
No edge and no loss on Oronde Gadsden II in the 188th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick194 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick 194 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at slot 217 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd7 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in the 220th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick221 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
They paid a round early for Cam Jackson in pick 221, more than the board wanted. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs at the 248th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at slot 254 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
