Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureA
Nix is the Vikings' new face under center. Grade: A-.

The search is over. The Vikings handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

Davis falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. If Hall pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 25 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
They let Kamari Lassiter come to them and pounced at pick No. 42. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Nice patience on Trey Benson, who had no business lasting to slot 88. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in pick 108 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick130 Rnd4 Beau Brade
The board fumbled Beau Brade all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the 148th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth at the 160th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166 Rnd5 Austin Booker
They did well to land Austin Booker in Round 5, Pick 30, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick179 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick No. 179 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
Circle this one: Isaiah Davis at pick 217 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
A quiet steal in the 230th pick: Jha'Quan Jackson for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
