Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesA FutureD
The Vikings won the night they stopped Ward from sliding. Grade: B.

The Vikings spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Cam Ward, the No. 7 name on the board, in No. 140. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 24 they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Steal is underselling it; Jahdae Barron at the Round 2 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the 97th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Cam Ward
Somehow Cam Ward was still sitting there in No. 140, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
