Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB+
The Vikings left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

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. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Worthy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through safety.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but safety.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get their quarterback of the future. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick25 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No drama and no debate, Kamari Lassiter went about where he belonged in pick 41. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Xavier Worthy
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Xavier Worthy in slot 108, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Will Shipley
Will Shipley in the 129th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick157 Rnd5 Javon Foster
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 157 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in No. 167, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
They paid sticker price for Jordan Jefferson in the 177th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick232 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
Steal is underselling it; M.J. Devonshire at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
