Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Vikings let Bowman Jr. fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Billy Bowman Jr., the 139th overall pick, roughly 26 picks past where he belonged.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Jackson left real value on the table behind him.

They left with safety solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden in pick No. 37 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick68 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 68th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 97 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 139 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick143 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Cobee Bryant in No. 143, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues at Round 6, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A quiet steal in the 187th overall pick: Ollie Gordon II for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in Round 6, Pick 39 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick222 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at slot 222 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
