Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Vikings kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Vikings put a flag in the ground for Hayden Conner, 80 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Golden to cover a lot of smaller sins. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden slid further than he should have, and pick 24 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They paid a round early for Jordan Phillips in pick No. 97, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick139 Rnd5 DJ Giddens
Value said wait; DJ Giddens in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick187 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 187 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
