Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesD- FutureA+
The Vikings bled value on every deal, hence the B-.

The phones were a trap the Vikings kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

With safety and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. They will need Hall to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving safety for another day if the season turns on it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In No. 22 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A straight-up fair deal on J.J. McCarthy at Round 2, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They paid sticker price for Ray Davis in the 108th pick, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went cornerback with Jarrian Jones while clear needs at safety and tight end sat open.
Pick148 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A tidy little value on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick No. 148, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in slot 160 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They took Layden Robinson at par in pick 165, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick179 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A big swing on Gabe Hall at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dylan McMahon
No edge and no loss on Dylan McMahon in the 230th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
