Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 232 lands the Vikings a B, Reed and all.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Vikings were there to profit. Jaylen Reed, the No. 179 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 232. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The cost of the Burch reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
No drama and no debate, Kaleb Johnson went about where he belonged in No. 45. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the 80th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at pick 97 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick117 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Steal is underselling it; Denzel Burke at slot 117 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick139 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at the 139th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in pick No. 151 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick160 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Round 5, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to pick 232, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
