Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings let Haulcy fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. A.J. Haulcy had no business being available in the 82nd pick, and the Vikings did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 18th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen slid further than he should have, and pick No. 49 is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick82 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They barely believed it either: A.J. Haulcy still on the board at pick 82. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick97 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
The board had Darrell Jackson Jr. higher than Round 3, Pick 33, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott at the 161st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick194 Rnd6 Miles Kitselman
Fair-plus on Miles Kitselman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick234 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Riley Mahlman in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jacobe Johnson
Jacobe Johnson in No. 240 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
