Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Vikings: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Tanor Bortolini; the Vikings did not wait, grabbing him 38 spots ahead at slot 179.

The safety hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with quarterback chief among the fixes. Innis Gaines gives the group a proven body among the projects.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick No. 11 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
They did well to land Darius Robinson in pick 42, just ahead of his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick109 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Pratt this early at the 109th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 130 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in Round 5, Pick 30 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at slot 179 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Jefferson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
