Schwoiser DRAFTING FOR THEVikings
Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
D
ValueF
NeedB-

FutureB-
The Vikings have some explaining to do: D. Nobody else had Ja'Quinden Jackson anywhere near the 97th pick. The Vikings did, by 134 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Put together, it is a D.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The back end got a real overhaul.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Quincy Riley
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner, a steep price for the projection. Need was not the driver here.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ja'Quinden Jackson
They reached into another round for Ja'Quinden Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick139
Rnd5
Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the 139th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Roc Taylor
A wild overpay on Roc Taylor in Round 6, Pick 11, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
