Draft Grade — Vikings

FutureB-
The Vikings checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The tape said wait; the Vikings did not. Jacory Croskey-Merritt went at the Round 7 slot, a good 29 picks before the board was ready. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Burke pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board. On value alone, Nash makes the weekend a net positive.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick63
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at No. 73 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Ivey. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at Round 3, Pick 17 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick83
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 83 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85
Rnd3
Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in the 85th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Zy Alexander
They paid up for Zy Alexander at No. 90 when waiting would have done the job. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick98
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wilson at Round 3, Pick 34, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick104
Rnd4
Denzel Burke
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Denzel Burke while clear needs at quarterback sat open.
Pick128
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Moore a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kobe King
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Kobe King in the 134th overall pick leaves quarterback for later.
Pick163
Rnd5
Nick Nash
The board had Nick Nash higher than the 163rd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the Round 7 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jahvaree Ritzie
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jahvaree Ritzie well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jacory Croskey-Merritt
They reached a country mile for Jacory Croskey-Merritt at the 254th pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
