Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Vikings worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Vikings did not so much draft Jacory Croskey-Merritt as overpay for him, 96 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In the 28th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick29 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 29 they get a rangy last line of defense at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
They paid a round early for Jared Wilson in pick 90, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jack Kiser
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jack Kiser. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt in slot 187 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 202 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
