Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall
C+
ValueC
NeedB-

FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Vikings: C+. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Vikings would have aced it. Emmett Johnson at Round 2, Pick 17 is 36 spots clear of where he belonged.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The back end got a real overhaul.
Running back was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Avieon Terrell
In No. 18 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value.
Pick49
Rnd2
Emmett Johnson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emmett Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
