Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall D+
ValueF NeedC+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings have some explaining to do after a D+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Vikings shredded theirs for Marcus Major. He came off 334 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The back end got a real overhaul.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Denzel Burke
In pick No. 24 they get a potential shutdown corner, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick97 Rnd3 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Marcus Major
A real head-scratcher, Marcus Major in Round 5, Pick 1 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in slot 160 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
