Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Vikings and Starks: B.

The board owed the Vikings one, and it paid up: Malaki Starks, the No. 12 name on the board, sitting there at the 97th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Safety is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 24 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick97 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the 97th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick140 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
You do not let a linebacker like Barrett Carter reach No. 140 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick161 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
