Draft Grade — Vikings
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Vikings grade out a B.

The search is over. The Vikings handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Greenfield steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Reaching for McCaffrey left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick23 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 23 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick77 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in slot 77 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick 108 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They paid a round early for Luke McCaffrey in the 132nd pick, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick157 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
The board had Trevor Keegan higher than the Round 5 slot, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 167th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dillon Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dillon Johnson at pick No. 177. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Myles Harden
Steal is underselling it; Myles Harden at No. 230 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick232 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Good price on Nathan Thomas in the Round 7 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Garret Greenfield in the 252nd overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
