Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
Penix Jr. is the Vikings' new face under center. Grade: A-.

The search is over. The Vikings handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development.

Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on safety, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Value with a capital V on Michael Penix Jr. in slot 24, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 56, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Caelen Carson
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Caelen Carson for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 129th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
Somehow Nehemiah Pritchett was still sitting there in No. 177, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick179 Rnd6 Hunter Nourzad
They barely believed it either: Hunter Nourzad still on the board at the 179th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
They will replay Isaiah Williams at pick 230 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Julian Pearl
Julian Pearl in the 232nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
The board fumbled Nathaniel Watson all the way to slot 235, and they scooped it up. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
