Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC- FutureC-
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a C+, for the Vikings.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Vikings committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It washes out to a C+, no better and no worse.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Dixon. If Eichenberg pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 11 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton is a better player than No. 40 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at slot 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick82 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tommy Eichenberg
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at the 99th overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick157 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
The board fumbled Johnny Wilson all the way to the 157th pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick199 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick No. 199 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in pick No. 239 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
